Absolutely the best hostel, the staff there is super friendly. I feel very welcome and I they show us all around so I know like where to get the things I need. The best benefit of living in this whole house is I get to go hiking around the first mountain without worrying about the cable car closing time. Food option Are amazing. Surprisingly the dinner is not expensive..

Phenomenal location and stay at the hostel up in the mountains, lovely 3 course meal in the evening with the sunset and a really lovely breakfast all being sorrounded by the mountains before all the tourist arrive

The location is excellent if you want to visit the top or go on hiking trips on the trails. The best part is that you get to skip the insane morning queues to the cable car by arriving in the evening. The place really quiets down for the night as soon as the last cable car leaves the station.
The place is really in a need of thorough refurbishment. The showers and toilets particularly are in a bad shape and the corridor leading to the rooms was full of flies. The food in the restaurant was atrocious and the breakfast was very limited. I'd rather eat field rations.
