The nicest staff ever! Location is super convenient to two bus stops. It's loud at night until 11/12, but that's to be expected, so bring earplugs if noise bothers you.

Great base for mountain activities

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed watching world cup games in the bar in between hikes. Grosser Mythen is right out the door and the main square is just a short walk away. Easily accessible by transit.

Vétuste, mais en bon état. Notre chambre était propre. Les linges de lit et de bain sont fournis, mais il est nécessaire d'avoir votre savon pour les mains ou vos produits de bain. Il y a du savon et du gel douche en sachet à la réception en cas d'oubli gratuitement. Le patron est accueillant et très à l'écoute. Nous avons pris une chambre confort avec les commodités en chambre. Les portes de chambre étant fines, il est logique d'entendre les pas des clients se rendant dans les commodités communes, ou d'entendre la télé ou les conversations d'autres clients, mais cela n'a pas été dérangeant pour nous. L'hôtel était assez calme. Le restaurant-bar a accueilli nombreux clients le soir de notre séjour, la cuisine est variée et bonne dans son ensemble. Un jeu de fléchettes, un baby-foot et un fumoir sont disponibles gratuitement dans la salle du restaurant. Places de parking gratuites devant l'hôtel. Personnel du restaurant très sympathique.

Ausreichend für eibe Nacht...

Ich hatte ein einfaches Zimmer mit Gemeinschaftsbad. Im Badezimmer hatte der Duschkopf seine beste Zeit hinter sich. Im Flur vor den Zimmer roch es etwas unangenehm. Evtl. von der davor liegenden Gemeinschaftsküche. Das Zimmer war sehr hellhörig. Man konnte die Gespräche aus den Nachbarnzimmern klar und deutlich hören. Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend. Das Personal war zuvorkommend und nett. Im Preis inbegriffen war ein Willkommensgetränk.
