The food was amazing and we had plenty to choose from. The location it self was very good, located in a little town with plenty to offer. Also, it was a very clean and friendly area and the youth hostel itself was very similar. I would love to go there again in the future. More

Thanks for your great comments. We love to welcome families here - and our family activity breaks have been a knockout success this summer. It's been a busy year, so the hostel, which is 150 years old, will be due a lick of paint this winter. But we're staying open so you can enjoy making snowmen, sledging and snowballs -... More
