Amazing view
This YHA is in such a stunning location. A couple of the showers on my floor were unfortunately out of order. Parking is very limited. Scaffolding on my dorm window unfortunately restricted the view of the lake. But in spite of all of this I would go back. The views and location were perfect.

Ok
Sorry to put poor but the mattress was hard and damp and the pillow was uncomfortable and I could not sleep well at all. The room was way to hot even with the central heating off and the floor boards creeked a lot . But the view was lovely and the overall presence of the hostel was nice. The hot breakfast was poor as wasnt fresh but was nice to have the continental. The staff were friendly which was nice
