The building was new and you can see the lake from the dormโ€™s balcony and living room. However, I made a mistake of walking from the bus station because I made a mistake in the google search. Itโ€™s at the far end of the busy shops so better take a taxi or walk for an hour.

Ich habe im Comfort-4 Bett Zimmer รผbernachtet und war begeistert, was wir fรผr das Geld geboten wird. Weiche Matratzen, kleiner Ventilator am Bett und ein super sauberes modernes Gemeinschaftsbad. Es wird jeden Tag geputzt und durchgewischt. Der Gemeinchaftsbereich ist immer sauber und mit einer Hรคngematte ausgestattet. Ich kann รผber das Hostel nichts negatives sagen.
