This hostel provided a great value for my business trip. The location was perfect, as it was very close to bars, restaurants, and within walking distance of almost everything in town and near the glacier. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with plenty of hot water in the bathrooms. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay, even adding rails to the beds upon request. The common areas were well-equipped with board games, DVDs, and books. And the free soup and popcorn were a nice touch.
The limited number of computers made it difficult to access the internet, and there was no WiFi available.

We had a great experience staying at this hotel. It was clean, had good facilities and parking, and was located in a prime location. The staff was friendly and helpful. They provided breakfast and delicious soup in the evening. We had no trouble getting around the city as transportation was readily available, and the hotel was willing to help us with everything.
Nothing at all.

The location was ideal for exploring the area and we appreciated the complimentary drinks and chocolates upon arrival. The staff members were friendly and helpful, offering advice on local activities and attractions. It was great to have access to free Wi-Fi throughout our stay.
The bathroom felt cramped and outdated. The noise from neighboring rooms and the hallway was disruptive to our romantic getaway.

We loved our stay at this lodge! The location was perfect, with the main town area just a short walk away. Our room was clean and comfortable, with spacious bunk beds and a nice view of the garden next door. The bathroom was small but functional. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, with a variety of cereals and bread options available. a great value for money and a convenient place to stay.
The only downside was the noise outside our room in the morning, but it was very quiet and peaceful in the evening and during the night.
