The Hostel is good.
Staying at this hostel was an amazing experience! It wasn’t right in the middle of town but it didn’t matter because a bus stop was about 2 min walk away with buses running almost every 10 minutes. This place was beautifully placed on the side of a mountain and the view was insane! The staff were absolutely amazing and made sure we felt comfortable and at home! Would definately stay here all over again!
Great hostel if your looking for some hiking, a good trek just down the road up the hill. Piano and guitar make it good fun for people to hang out and play music together. Chill vibe, relaxed, great staff. Very nice stay.
A lovely homely safe vibe, with breakfast, coffee and cake in the evening, large communal kitchen with utensils, and other activities included. Plenty of time to make friends with the other guests. The hostel is 30 mins away from the centre by bus, but isn’t advised to walk back as it’s quite far up the steep hill. The only downside was on the first night I stayed on the top bunk, which was soooo creaky, but the next night I moved to the bottom and was much better!
Great location for the Ulriken hike, as near the Sherpa steps and the cable car. 20 min on the bus into the centre, which is fine but cost can add up. The facilities were great and was everything we needed there. Breakfast was fantastic, with a beautiful view that you just can’t beat. Would recommend for sure, if you don’t mind being out of the centre.
Just the lockers in room are really missin. Otherwise very nice hostel.
