Not worth the cost

One of the nice things about staying in small places in foreign countries is getting to know the owners or staff and learning about the area. There was no one at check in to greet us, only a paper with a code to the room. We had trouble at first using the code and had to use the "ring" doorbell to communicate with the owner. The room was basic and fine. The breakfast was meh. Runny eggs (probably powdered) and other store-bought products. I would be ok with the average-ness of the stay if the room didn't cost so much

There was no wifi or tv. We were told that the connection was unstable and that it couldn't be fixed. The property is very remote and a connection to wifi and tv would have been nice, especially for what we were paying for the room.

Let’s start with all the positives which include a comfortable bed, a shower with strong water pressure, the room was clean and a plentiful breakfast buffet. The areas that could be improved is having a small fridge in the room. Given that the hotel is a ways from any place to get food or beverages it would have been nice to have a place to put a few things during our three day stay. Also, I sent the hotel a message (using the Hotels.com messaging option) asking for guidance with the tv as it was not working but I never heard anything from them. Maybe being a self serve sort of place I shouldn’t have been surprised. Lastly, one of the bedside reading lights was busted and one of the wall lights was missing a lightbulb. The location is 15 minutes from Vik or any other place with a store or restaurant so just something to keep in mind.

The hotel entrance was a bit hard to find in the night. Once we got to the lobby and checked in everything was easy and all we needed for our roadtrip stop.
