Property was not well maintained. Bathtub surround was broken.

It was not bad at all, given the right expectations.
Pros:

The 2-bed suites are a little old and tired, but comfy. The pods work well though if you're getting old like me you'll want a lower pod, rather than climbing a ladder. All the amenities are there, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with other friends/families, as the shared kitchen has lots of space with a fun hang-out area attached, with pool table and ping pong, although there were only crappy rackets and pool you pay for. Oh well, that's all good.

Cons:

You have to be up for the hostel "vibe", and as an old guy who likes his comforts it took me a bit to get used to it, but the staff was really friendly. The bar was hopping and I was concerned about the noise at first, but it didn't really penetrate to where I was sleeping.

Pros:

Cheaper than a hotel

Cons:

Bed was plastic feeling and noisy to sleep on. Not very comfortable at all. Better beds would go along way for the experience.

A part of my adventures this weekend.
Pros:

I liked the energy. It was very slow this weekend so I basically had the place to myself- but the vibes were still great.

Cons:

Mattress wasn’t 10/10- but it wasn’t bad.

Pros:

Het gebouw heeft een grote keuken en eetruimte. Stalling voor snowboard en fietsen.

Cons:

De kamer is erg klein. Veel trappen en overal heb je je sleutel nodig.

It's a hostel - but it's great!
Pros:

The staff, the deck, the bar

Cons:

Lack of light in room - and it was a bit warm but there was a fan and you can open window. Also, just say it's a hostel - it's a hostel. We were surprised but then liked it after all - but this isn't made clear. We enjoyed it because it's the off season but if we'd stayed during ski season we would have been livid to be misled

Sweet spot to stay, most definitely would stay there again.
Pros:

Very nice stay. Really enjoyed the live music on the deck, the bed was very comfortable, it was very clean, and it was close enough to walk a lot of places.

Cons:

No air conditioning. We didn’t feel that leaving the window open more than a few inches to allow ventilation, provided us to have proper privacy. Maybe have sheers on window behind the curtains? A spot for the fan near the window also would have been helpful, maybe a fold down/up small shell right at ledge of window inside?

Great value, very comfy
Pros:

Pros:

All the facilities were awesome and clean (I found the bed extremely comfortable. The pool tables were a huge plus in my books. The kitchen was also well-equipped. The bartender, Seb, was lovely to interact with and definitely contributed to making my whole experience at REAL. Drinks at the pub are cheap - and come in a chilled glass which you don't get everywhere.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind at all.
