2 nights stay.

Is a new hostel and the room is clean. Some distance to town but if you rent car, no issue. Is just 5-10 mins walk to the snow field during December.

Room was quite hot with poor circulation and there was not way to cool it down, staff said AC didn’t work and windows wouldn’t open. Other than that nice property and very clean.
