Location is great (A5, mountains are nearby, nearest town isn't too far for a drive/delivery). Cozy shared spaces (library, dining room). Full of hikers- great for meeting like minded people if you are one.
Very bright lights in the corridor. When someone opens a door (very likely in a 6 bed room) at night it floods harshly in people's faces, particularly the bunk to the right of the entrance. Hiker boots are generally smelly, the room was a bit warm and pugnant due to them. Much better if you are a group getting a room for yourself
