“Breakfast is great, but the rest is average or below. Very poor communication from the staff”
Really spacious room and good location & view. Shared toilet was alright and did the job. We did love the breakfast, very rich and perfect to kickstart a day of sightseeing.

I was in the tents at the back. It was lovely and cozy, bed was v comfortable and there was a heater. I had to move tents because mine was leaking but it was sorted quickly and easily once I found the staff. Breakfast was good

“Very nice accommodation”
The room was large and well furnished. The bathroom and toilets were clean, the corridors were quiet so we had a very good rest on the way from the mountains. The breakfast was sufficient and everyone chose what they liked. Beautiful accommodation for a very reasonable price.

“Amazing interior and surroundings”
A very beautiful interior. Amazing surroundings between mountains and next to a lake. Much attention was paid to small details and aesthetics. Resembled to a small temple.
