Gerne wieder!

Das moderne Gebäude mit viel Holz und Sichtbeton ist sehr ansprechend. Der Empfang war freundlich, die Zimmer zweckmässig eingerichtet und sauber. Das 6-Bettzimmer mit Lavabo war direkt vis-a-vis der Toiletten und Duschen situiert. Das Frühstück war gut und reichhaltig. Es herrscht eine sehr familienfreundliche Atmosphäre. Gerne wieder.

Sehr schöne, moderne Jugendherberge. Die Mitarbeiterin (Frau Marti) ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Frühstücksraum ist sehr gross und das Frühstück war ausreichend. Wir haben ein Doppelzimmer mit Bad gebucht. Das Zimmer bietet genügend Platz und hat eine grosse Fensterfront. Leider war die Matratze sehr weich. Sonst hat es uns sehr gut gefallen.

Une très belle Auberge de Jeunesse très bien tenue par Marianne qui est accueillante. La chambre était équipée d'un bon lit et d'une douche et toilette. La vue sur le paysage est magnifique.

This place is well worth the money.

For 3 days I only needed a bed, my own bathroom / toilet and breakfast. This hostel was able to offer me that at a good price. In addition, the entire hostel staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was very good and varied. I was there by car and used the garage for CHF 12 a day.
