Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Sauberkeit war eher so naja. Das Zimmer und Bad waren dreckig und rochen seltsam. Die Fassade der Unterkunft erinnert an eine Absteige oder heruntergekommene Bar. Frühstück war für den Preis eine Frechheit. Es gab Toast, Obstsalat und Butter. Dazu noch eine Sorte aufgeschnittenen Käse und ungenießbarer Schinken. Wer mehr möchte muss 10€ p.P. zuzahlen und bekommt ein schlecht schmeckendes englisches Frühstück. Diese Eindrücke wurden von allen anderen Gästen bestätigt. Für 200 Euro pro Nacht definitiv nicht wert.

Fantastic place

Easy to find with friendly staff, the room was very clean with an amazing view and is only a short journey to the mountains. Made it back for dinner and the food is delicious with plenty of choice. Will be back to explore the area as I only stayed for one night. Thank you for a great visit
