adequate experience
good food value for money friendly staff central position small coffee cups small portions high price
the meals were very good. i found the staff to be friendly. the location is really central (easy to reach hiking routes).
The coffee could have been warmer. The cups were small. the lunch portions seemed small considering the price. my fish came with a very small potato portion (it was disappointing).

mixed feelings after my stay
dated room loud extractor fan
the breakfast was delicious with a great choice of freshly cooked local items.
The room felt quite dated. it lacked special touches for the price. also, the room was very loud in the morning because of the extractor fan coming from the kitchen below. We were woken up earlier than we wanted.
