At the hostel, each room includes a wardrobe. Each room has a coffee machine and a shared bathroom, while selected rooms come with a balcony. Guest rooms include bed linen. I don't know if I was on a hiking high, or if this was the best hostel I've stayed in, but either way, I can't recommend it enough! The location is easily accessible from the ferry port, facilities are very clean with fresh bedding and towels ready on the bed. Picking up the keys from the security box was quick and simple. The shower pressure is great and there is a clothesline outside to dry your stuff (if you are coming back sweaty from a hike!). I only wish I could have stayed longer.

The spacious rooms feature a private bathroom with a shower. Extras include bed linen.

A public swimming pool is 400 metres away. Guest cards are available for purchase, that allow for discounts at several local attractions. Awesome location and staff.

I have to start first with Michelle and Chris, two best persons we ever encountered behind the reception and managing a hostel. It started all with our 2,5h delay or arrival due to the unplanned Gotthard tunnel closing. We were stuck in a traffic jam and arrived around 19:30h instead of 17h. They were so kind and organized our dinner even in that time (initially planned for 18:30h), so when we arrived after our long trip from Italy it was nice and warm and delicious. During our stay there, they have been all the time super friendly, helpful and professional. This place is lucky to have them and without them it would never be the same. Our family room was nice and cosy with the great view of the lake and green fields and mountains around. Birds were waking us in the morning and it felt so great to be so close to nature. Very clean room and the whole place was clean in general. Our kids also had a great time with free activities there (play room, table tennis, table soccer). We are already looking and making plans to come back in the near future. It is not possible to give a higher review than 10/10 so we give only 10 here. I propose booking.com to make some possibility to give option for 'the best ever' mark/sign which can be used once per year or something and only on an exceptional case because this place is definitely exceptional.
