Hot tub access, very clean hostel and friendly staff. Cacao in the morning and free popcorn & soup is always nice.
Washing machine and dryer was not really working good. One out of two machines even broken.

The decoration style with some antiques are very well done.
The bed is a bit too soft. And the shower doesn't have control of volume so even though there's a kind reminder on the wall about using the water wisely, we weren't able to conserve the water volume of shower. Because the water pressure was too high, some of the water inevitably gets on the bathroom floor.

Friendly helpful staff, free simple breakfast and evening soup. Clean basic accommodation. Use of hot tub (free but pump is broken so nice for hot soak only). Parking next to own unit. Use of communual kitchen and lounge (although kettle, fridge, microwave and toaster in unit). Easy walk to main street for restaurants, helicopter flights and one of the walks, 10 minutes drive to the glacier walks.
