Everything you need and more

I took a basic room for only one night, and it was just great. It has everything needed and is very well designed to optimize space. Everything is very clean and all details are well made. The renovation is qualitative. Service is kind and efficient.

Lovely Hotel

Gasthof is a very nice place to stay. It is absolutely spotless and very comfortable. While the breakfast buffet is small, there is something for everyone. The owner is extremely kind. He even carried my luggage up the stairs for me. I would not hesitate to stay here again. :-)

Beautiful little country guest house. Host was welcoming and helpful, village's location is beautiful (though isolated - which I loved), room was neat and comfortable, breakfast buffet (included) and dinner (at additional cost) were both delicious. A wonderful gem and a bargain to boot (115USD for room + breakfast + dinner) that I'd recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Nice enough for a B&B

Shame about the huge numbers of insects - I was eaten alive. (granted I was also eaten alive at the 4* hotel which I'd just come from too)
