BUG review
This very small hostel is in an alpine-style building just a two-minute walk from the thermal pools. It features a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining area and a cosy upstairs TV lounge. The dorm in the main building has an open beam ceiling and comfortable single beds. The bathrooms are compact but clean. Overall, it has a very warm, quiet atmosphere.

This is a great little house in a small little place. The spa is worth going to as you can go out and come came back in in the same day. There's loads of walks to do in the area.

less of a hostel and more of a home this was a lovely little retreat. the manager Becks was one of the most helpful and laidback I've come across. Very small little TV lounge upstairs with videos and nice style dorm with no bunks.The hot springs in the town aren't the nicest I've been to-a little too commercial and lacking in atmosphere. Otherwise a nice little alpine town
