The place is in a lovely location,, the staff is warm and welcoming . The place needs a lot of TLC having been neglected for a very long time. The staff does their best to make it comfortable and clean and we really recognized and appreciated their efforts. Christa

I paid €75 for a room with no tv, no towels and toast for breakfast. Although basic, the plumbing in bathroom was very noisy and the velux window was filthy. The radiator was on and the room too warm and no way to turn it off, I asked. The bed was a child one and I had to make it up. None of this would bother me if the price wasn’t so HIGH. The girl at reception seemed unhappy and cross. Very little effort from her. All in all very disappointed.

I booked private ensuite with twin beds, I was offered room no. 3 with bunk beds, there was not ventilation in the bathroom, which caused high humidity in the room, which affect my health. There was no internet at all, there is not lake view. The place could do with proper internet service. The person at the reception couldn't find our booking, I hope I will get refund for the difference of the accomodation I received, I paid 100 euro for twin beds. I was disappointed.
