Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is excellent, overlooking beautiful views with a river flowing past at the bottom of the garden, perfect for walking to town, but I wouldn't consider a return visit unless I was upstairs and away from the street.
Our stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The rooms were super clean and cozy, with a magnificent view of the snow-covered river and mountains. The staff informed us about the boiler-heating system, which was a nice touch. The location is perfect for early morning travelers and offers a fabulous view day and night, just a short walk into town. On the downside, the entrance steps were a bit unlevel and muddy.
I wouldn't consider a return visit unless we were upstairs and away from the street. The room was immaculate and comfortable, with a small refrigerator and a compact hair dryer which was nice. It was huge and comfortable, exactly as portrayed.
