The soundproofing could be better, but the location was really convenient and nice. The place was clean and had both hot and cold water. The 200 early check-in surcharge seemed reasonable.

Getting around was easy since it's near the city center, and cars can pull right up to the room, with parking available. There is a bad stretch of road on the way in. The staff were okay, though not especially friendly or enthusiastic. The room was small and cute, but the loft was high enough that you could hit your head climbing down if you weren't careful. The bathroom had hot and cold water, but felt stuffy and its door wouldn't shut properly. The mattress was flat, with springs poking out and a clunking metal sound whenever I turned over. The electricity was weak too, so charging my phone fully took a long time.

I liked the distinctive interior, good bed linens, and mountain view, and the grounds were pretty, though not quite like the photos. There are other nearby places to eat with the same view. But I chose this place for its pictures and regretted it. My room was a 17 sq. m. Double room. It was cold and damp, with icy floors and walls, and there was a mouldy smell by the mattress. That mattress was disgusting, with springs poking into my back and making sleep difficult. The room was dirty, with dust, cobwebs, and dead insects everywhere. There seemed to be too few staff and no cleaning staff at all. Large cracks in the walls let in lots of insects, including into the bed. You could hear everything outside and through the wall from neighbors, especially in the morning. The location was inconvenient without a bike or car, with a long walk to the center. Taxis and deliveries cost more because it's remote, and after 5 PM it was hard to find somewhere to eat nearby; the decent places were in the city center. During rain, our room flooded because staff didn't open the drain. I also missed having closets or cabinets, a proper kettle, cups, and disposable shampoo.

The view was lovely, with flowers everywhere, and the evening bonfire was so relaxing. The owner was incredibly kind and enthusiastic. I hadn't expected such a beautiful room for that price, and it was even nicer than the one on Pinterest. A really worthwhile stay ✨
