Good value, has problems.
The hotel is just 1km outside of the town center and easy to miss (it's on a bend). The grounds are pleasant with facilities for sitting outside and the place has a good view. Booked out of season for 2 nights and stayed 4 nights. This is a very inexpensive place to stay but of course, do not expect luxury. Good room size but everything was just that little old (hey it's not a hotel!). Room 8 on-suite is fitted with a maserator which just about functions but do be careful not to put anything other than toilet paper in it. The toilet is a very tight fit opposite the shower and as such, the best way to sit on the toilet is to first open the shower (sounds crazy?). The shower needed repairs as the base had insufficient support and the plastic cracked letting water all over the shower floor. Of concern though, was the wiring. An extension cable powering the fridge had worn and there was bare live wiring. These rooms need to be checked for safety!!!
Breakfast was in a nice breakfast room and there is a coffee vending machine which I could not access. Could not see any other facilities for tea/coffee.
All in all the place was good value for money and in summer would have been pleasant (note: take some sort of mosquito repellent - they bite!). The safety and maintenance need to be looked at - not good! There is a pizzeria/restaurant just round the bottom of town if you want a nice meal, otherwise, a nice coffee/bar by the fountain. Parking is available.
