Perfect spot!

Nice place, centrally placed. Everything perfect except the rush in breakfast time. Can highly recommend it. Come earlier to get best service in high season during breakfast opening hours. Only thing too complain about was not enough forks and seeting spots during rush hour, everything else was perfect. Good food, location, interior and Mandal is a nice place to stay and explore.
