Many thanks to this amazing accommondation and the wonderful hiking experience! It was the best decision to book the tour at the guesthouse itself. After enjoying a rich breakfast I got picked up for my hikingtour. Everything was well organized. Also important for me was the continuous Wifi, which was working perfect. Next Year I will come back!

    Quite contradictory impression overall. Cant say Ll iss good or it is bad experience. We could change room to more spacious and with access to fresh air on the second day. Location quite centered Wardrobe and mirrors Good internet, one of the best we had across other hotels Polite host Worth money it cost i think so really cheap/simple. Do not expect some luxury for this budget which is normal. Reminds more hostel quality than hotel. Location was shared via google map and advise where to get off the bus to save time. This was cool
