We enjoyed our stay with a fantastic view!

It was a really good stay. We love their balcony which has a fantastic view. They gave us a family room and it provided an enough space for my family. The staffs were friendly and provided us a discount card for us to take bus for free. We also use their microwave and kettle to heat up our dinner. One downside is far away from the station. However, it creates a greater scene and quiet environment. Their bathroom is a little small than we think.

Very basic, nothing in the rooms but 2 beds and storage room and a safe. only 1 socket in the whole room as well. Brekkie was ok and slept well tho! The free bus pass for the town was a bonus as its a good 10 mins walk up hill.

You can do better

It was an ok hotel, but way too expensive for what it was. You don't feel like you get a good value for the money paid. The hotel is closed on Sundays, so you don't even get to use the amenities or the chance to have a beer at the bar if you're there on a Sunday. Also the breakfast was very sad and basic.

Great location but make sure you are prepared

The hotel was nice . Only issue was we only had one plug in the room but the hotel let us borrow a extender strip so I can plug in more then one . Also we were in the shared bathroom and showers … only two showers and two toilets for like 10 rooms so glad we didn’t come during the busy time but great set up for like a group of friends . Also you can hear everything through the walls. I still give the hotel a high rating because the location and free bus pass. The breakfast was alright too. Also the amazing view is great too !

It was a really nice place to stay. I have no particular complaints or gripes. The staff was super helpful and kind, the room was exactly as advertised (very basic) and the location and views are to die for. I guess I’m still trying to wrap my head around the cost vs benefit....but hey, it’s what you get when you stay right in the middle of the mountains in a super beautiful touristy spot. Overall great stay and I do recommend.

The mountain view from the room was impressive! Though the location a bit far with 15-20 mins walk to the station, the peaceful environment and view worths it. The room size is ok but not as spacious as i thought
