Lovely location up on the mountain in Ristis. Beautiful nature and lots of areas for kids to play. The lodge is quite modern and rooms and beds really comfortable and clean. We slept really well! We had to share showers / bathrooms and at times had to wait but it was not a big problem. Quality of the showers was excellent. The food was superb and service great too, thank you!

I travelled with my mother and I stayed in 2-Bed Female Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom. I requested while booking to put both us in the same room. And they did which I am grateful for! It was my mother´s first experience of staying in a hostel kind of environment and she now has high expectations from every hostel! I stayed there during end of November for 5 days and the heating was excellent. Having kitchen with cutlery was helpful to reduce the costs of eating outside. I am very happy to use this as my base for the 5 days during my trip to Switzerland. To be honest, my other stays in Switzerland which were in fact in proper hotels were not as good as my experience here. Since we stayed for a long duration they provided us duvet cover, bedsheet, towels and we also got them changed after two days. Yes, the washrooms were clean!! Hence go for it!!

This hotel exceeded all my expectations! For a decent price you get an amazing breakfast, friendly personnel who lets you practice your German if you like, a perfect location for all activities and a room with what you need. I visited in September 2024, which was a calm, sunny and warm time of year. I will be back!

Big Sinks, As Central as it gets, Comfortable beds, MiniMarket within the Hostel and quite cheap, Fruits available 24hours (personal preference), Employees putting superhuman effort to actually make sure that everything runs smoothly every single day, great decoration, while central, its still away enough from the noisy road and it is literally on top of the sea located, a brilliant system with lockers for our personal belongings, powerplugs for charging phones literally everywhere, even inside the bathroom/toilets. The best of all, the price includes breakfast which is a game-changer for the competition. Theres just not enough space, i could be writing for hours. Recommended !

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
