The shared kitchen was very well equipped. The room was comfortable and practical. The only observation is that the room we had (room 1) due to its location adjacent to the front door and common room, was very noisy. Our sleep was disrupted every time other patrons entered or left.

Loved my stay for a 2nd time

Ownership and name changed since my last stay but it still is as comfy and clean. I love the location. There was one drawback when I arrived, the main road was closed for construction and it was not very clearly identified. The detour was via a veeeeerrry asteep route through the mountain. Noth anyone's fault but it was a drawback for me. I would return for sure.
