really great ostel, the lovely natasha goes out of her way for all her customers and speaks russian, english and german to boot. there's also a pickup at the train station. the only downside is the location, which isn't very central. but everything else is brilliant.

This hostel is great because of it's staff. The location leaves something to be desired as it will take a bit of time to get to downtown area by bus. it's a small hostel so you get to know the folks staying there easily and once again, the staff is great and super friendly! They make up for the location :)

The hostel itself is a lovely place, clean with friendly staff but unfortunately quite far out of town and also at this time of the year rather empty. However, I still had a wonderfull stay and would recomend it.

We didn't stay in this hostel because it's so far out of the city (7 km). But when we arrived at this hostel the staff was helpfull and polite to phone another hostel. we even get Tea with a lot of cookies while we where waiting for the taxi. Thanks again, Rick and Ingrid

The staff at the hostel were very helpful and friendly. It is a bit of a bus trip into town but not really a major hassle. For a smaller quieter place to stay this is a great choice.
