    Kleines, individuelles und sehr sauberes Hostel in top Lage mit freundlichem Personal, gemütlichem Lounge-Bereich, gut a

    10/10 ⭐️ Eher kleines, individuelles Hostel mit richtig guter Lage. Der See, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants, Bars und verschiedene Unternehmungsmöglichkeiten sind schnell zu Fuß erreichbar. Alles war sehr sauber und das Personal super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Besonders gut gefallen hat mir der gemütliche Lounge-Bereich, in dem ich nach meinen Touren wunderbar entspannen konnte. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und das Bett war sehr bequem. Auch kostenlose Parkplätze gibt es in unmittelbarer Nähe ausreichend. Die aktuelle Baustelle an der Straße hat mich überhaupt nicht gestört und den Aufenthalt in keiner Weise beeinträchtigt. Ich habe mich hier sehr wohlgefühlt und würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Klare Empfehlung!
