Very Good
The staff was very nice, the room, bed, and facilities were great, and the location was perfect, just near the city center.
The road to the hostel was partially closed due to road work, and there isn't any close and cheap parking near it.

Amazing hostel with a super warm, social vibe – you instantly feel welcome, and there’s always something going on, whether it’s games, bingo, movies, or just hanging out and chatting in the kitchen or common area. Everything is very clean (the kitchen is even cleaned several times a day), and the staff are incredibly helpful, offering great tips as well as their own discounts for restaurants, bars, and activities like the Skyline Gondola. The location is perfect, with free parking on site and roads around the hostel, and it’s about a 10-minute walk to the Skyline Gondola, the town center, and the harbor. I loved it so much that I came back again just a few days later!
During peak times, the bathrooms can get quite busy, but I never had any trouble finding at least one available.

The location is good — it’s close to the centre and within walking distance. The parking area is quite small, but we were still able to park when we arrived around 2 p.m., and got one of the last spots. The room looks clean, but there are over 20 people sharing 3 bathrooms, so sometimes you have to wait a long time, especially in the morning
It’s a bit noisy — I was woken up early by other people’s alarms. The curtains aren’t long enough, and the stair area isn’t covered, so light comes through and there’s not much privacy.

Great location, good amount of communal space. Beds in dorm were good size with plenty of storage and always clean.
There were works to the road the hostel is on (that we were made aware of multiple times) which made parking a bit awkward.
