Reviews of the accommodation
- Perfect location for trips to the surrounding area. The price-quality ratio is excellent. There is nothing to complain about the stay.
- Nice location, rooms are basic, the breakfast is between 8 and 9 o‘clock.
- Super friendly and nice, great food.
- It’s a nice hotel where you can stay during a short holiday. The rooms are not very great, they are very small and you do not have enough space; they do not have TVs or refrigerators. The breakfast is well prepared. The position and the view of the hotel are great. I recommend this hotel for groups of children who are in a school trip or in a camp.
- Rooms were very clean and neat. Breakfast was good.
- Clean rooms, slept well. Good food. Quiet location. Another toilet in the corridor. Mountain and river view. Drinking water was available in the hall. Nice staff.
