The hotel is very old. The rooms are very simple but functional and clean. The mattress is hard even by European standards. Very nice breakfast. Walking distance to train station.

Wife wants to come back here
The hotel is a bit out of town but very easy transit using the guest pass provided by the hotel. Hotel itself had some creaky floor boards but was extremely comfortable after a lot of hiking and walking. The bed was the most comfortable bed we’ve had on our trip so far. Bathroom is small but shower was great.
