There are so many great things about this place, from the really GREAT free breakfast each morning, free soup at night, fitness room and hot tub. There are two kitchens and heaps of bathrooms so it never felt crowded when cooking. Quirky decor makes a great atmosphere. Chris, the superhuman owner/manager/bed maker does it all with heaps of energy. We loved it.

This place is quirky. We are a couple with 2 grown up children. My daughter had a single room which she thought was great. My husband and I were in a motel room ; comfortable but dark and dated. There was soup in the evening, and we enjoyed the breakfast which included pancakes and waffles. Good value for money and the host is lovely.

This was a classic hostel experience. Clean and comfy, had all bases covered. I really appreciated the owner Chris' efforts put into making this a great stay. There was complimentary breakfast, clean towels and bathmats, warm beds and a clean and well organised kitchen. The accommodation was also close to all the activities we had planned.

Premesso che trattasi di un ostello (più che un motel) con stanze, sia private, sia per backpackers, noi siamo rimasti positivamente colpiti dalla gentilezza e simpatia dei gestori, dalla struttura sia in termini di originalità degli ambienti comuni, sia dalla stanza, pulita , che dai servizi offerti. La sera viene offerta una zuppa agli ospiti nella cucina comune, oltre che utile per chi vuole prepararsi la cena nella cucina, la cosa risulta estremamente simpatica anche per creare famigliarità tra gli ospiti della struttura. La colazione è minimale ma soddisfaciente. La nostra stanza nella parte superiore dell'area motel, dotata di bollitore e set di cortesia, permette relax grazie al personale tavolino sul terrazzino con vista sul Franz Josef Glacier. Parcheggio interno, WiFi perfetto, prezzo decisamente competitivo. Decisamente contenti
