great host delicious breakfast main road loud music
Gidon and his wife Izsbela were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble! Breakfast was delicious. It had locally sourced ingredients that added a special touch each morning.
The information for this place is a bit misleading as it does not specify it is located on the main road. We were disturbed all the time by the noise coming from the traffic and loud music at night from the camp site nearby.

generally adequate stay

perfect location building character water pressure toilet flushing
the location was indeed perfect. i found a lot of character in the hotel and it suited my needs for the duration of my stay.
the shower facilities were lacking. i experienced suboptimal water pressure and that impacted my ability to have a refreshing shower. the toilet also needed several attempts to flush properly.

lovely stay

thoughtful touch good soundproofing private parking
the hosts arranged champagne and birthday decor for my partner, i really appreciated this thoughtful touch. the room overlooked the main road, though the noises were minimal thanks to good soundproofing. private parking was a great convenience, it made our arrival and departure very easy.
The bed was quite firm. A softer mattress topper would be beneficial.
