We didn’t book a taxi transfer from the airport with the hotel, which we regret as the taxi driver struggled to find the hotel. We had absolutely no problem with the taxi transfer to the airport organised by the hotel. He got to the airport in about 45mins. To get from the hotel to the main part of the town you have to walk up lots of steps. The room we stayed in was nice with a balcony to admire the Mountain View and a heater which was needed in the evenings in the second half of November. The bathroom was less inviting. To get hot water, you needed to turn the heater on in the bathroom, which we weren’t told about. The shower didn’t have a shower tray and wet a large part of the bathroom floor. When we arrived there wasn’t any toilet paper or bottled water, but this was provided on request. We didn’t have breakfast but we did eat at the hotel once. Lots of things on the menu weren’t available and the restaurant area was very cold. We ate with our coats on. There is an outside rooftop dining area which I imagine is very pleasant on warm summer evenings. Final thing to be aware of, but nothing to do with the hotel is lots of dog barking all through the night.
