Loved the setting. It felt remote yet we were close to everything we needed. Restaurants and shops were walkable.
The room was clean and comfortable. Our shower was open to our bathroom and left the whole floor wet when we used it. It seemed to be an accessible shower. Was not ideal for us. Otherwise the stay was pleasant.

No proper instructions for the guests.i was staying for a night but others kept heater for whole night i was watering....i cant explain to them they speak different language..
Very good Hostel. Stayed in a 4 person downstairs room. My only complaints are that the floors are a bit thin and people stomping around above me were noisy and secondly they close the hot tub at 8 pm, which seems a bit early. Otherwise this place is amazing. Great grounds and location
