The worst thing guests say
Noise is the most common complaint: guests in September 2026, August 2025 and May 2026 mentioned the ground-floor bar and traffic, and one said it is not a place to rest. Two guests (February and August 2026) said they had refund problems, and one in February 2026 said a week of a booking was cancelled.
Insider tips
- Expect noise if you want to sleep early, as the bar is on the ground floor.
- Prices are high for a dorm in high season.
- You can leave luggage with the staff.
Who it's for: solo travelers and friends who want a sociable hostel by the lake.
Skip it if you want quiet nights or a low price in summer.
