Good facilities and amazing staff, they are so knowledgeable and help heaps with planning days and keeping you safe.
The owners appeared to live at the hostel and were often in the communal spaces. This made it uncomfortable as they came across rude and arrogant. When asking about hikes, they prescribed 3, shut people down when they asked about different ones in the area stating “you Google, you die” and they got upset with me when I told them we’d mapped our route using our own map application and scolded me for not having them check it. Apparently it’s a rule to tell them which hike you’re doing. I understand the need for safety and not underestimating new tracks or the mountains, but it felt that there was little autonomy and we were at a children’s camp rather than a hostel.
We found the rooms overpriced. The bikes can be rented at €50 per day (they’re €20 down the road); and a load of washing is €7.
The location is great however and it’s a good way to meet like minded people if you’re a beginner hiker.
Nice sociable atmosphere but could be squeezed at time for space in common room and kitchen.
The main host is great and informative, his brother I found rather dismissive, as per other reviews.
They also have mountain bikes, you can rent and explore the area around.
Totally recommended!!!
They offer a transfer to Sadlo and can brief you about trails. But if you’re a early hiker, be aware. The transfer is at 9;00…
Mostly which makes me not want to go back is the price. It is really overpriced compared to other guesthouses in the area where you can get private rooms with kitchen and private bathroom for the same price or even less. Also the prices are not the same as the website says but far more expensive..
Nice place to meet people and hike with other travelers but don’t expect too much and ready your wallet ;)
