 | Krumlov House Hostel: Nice in an over the top kind of way

The owner of this place really made an effort in trying to give himself and his place a nice and warm feel. Because the hostel owner has rebuilded the place with his (and his friends') bare hands, the place indeed gets this warm feel. The hand carved wood is everywhere and it's treated with obvious craftmanship. The walls have warm colors, and straight lines or corners are hard to find, in that way, along with the absence of synthetic materials, making the hostel look very organic.
What bothers me about the place is that it is a bit over the top. Behind all the warm colours, hand-written instructions (and prohibits) and the warm smile off the owner, you can still clearly recognize the bright and sharp eyes of a bussinesman. Shure, you get good service (and free coffee) for a reasonable price, but still there is this eeky feeling, of a place that is cooked for it's experience. And being somewhat in the middle of nowhere, in an absolute 'plastic' village with it's fake stonework everywhere, overlooked by it's tasteless horror castle, this Krumlow-house gave me the feeling of being something like a fairy tale trap-house.
Of course the bother was just up in my head; in the morning i found myself alive, enjoing my coffee, with a lovely elderly american couple, concluding that it's all part of the Bohemian experience.
Unique place. Fit's wonderly well in the creepy feel of the place.
