Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Simple room at a simple old wooden building - but all was nice and simple in a good way (don’t expect something fancy). The hotel staff were nice and helpful.
Negative: No lift - If you get a room at the upper floor, you’ll need to carry your luggage up a long staircase. Breakfast is relatively basic.
Summary: Nice basic room, if you don’t expect a fancy hotel
