it’s actually a divided hut behind the main building of hostel. Quite hot during the sunny daytime, no air con and fans available. The only fan in bathroom was super loud.
Just like motel at back. Should be aware noise when cars and other guests passed though the stone road.

Overall it was a good night stay. Although we had the view as the room was in front, the noise of others can be heard like footsteps and even the smell of people smoking is coming inside the room.

Good location close to the main part of town. The water pressure was really poor and the heaters in our room and bathroom were also really poor. The shared areas were nice and the fireplace in both were great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall probably pretty good for a hostel but still could be better.

Haka house is a very easy choice for financial savings with clean bedding. On the flip side, there is no monitoring of how the kitchen area is maintained during/after use.
It’s obvious that the “children” are not monitored to be sure they clean up after themselves. I would expect an hostel to have some type of policy in place during busy kitchen hours. Every kitchen use required avoiding someone’s mess that was left behind.

Wir hatten ein kleines Zimmer - für 1 Nacht ausreichend. Leider ohne Klimaanlage. Das Zimmer war lange der Sonne ausgesetzt - deshalb war es seeeehr warm
