BUG review
This is a new purpose-built hostel with a pleasant lakeside location. It features a great common room with huge windows, a big log fire and nice TV. Dorm rooms are on the small side, but they have new mattresses and are exceptionally clean; the fully equipped kitchen is modern with lots of stainless steel and brand new appliances and the bathrooms are spotless. There is a nice outdoor barbecue area with a view, and they have internet access, laundry and travel desk. This place has a good backpacker atmosphere.
