    The hotel is a little bit old but the location is fantastic and the staff is very friendly. We had a view of the lake and a short walk down the hill to the shore. We never had to get in the car during the visit. Wish we had stayed longer.โ€ฆ

    2 / 5
    Getting to and from the hotel with out a car is very expensive. Even taking city bus which is paid for by hotel, there are many steep hills or steps to climb up from train station. Checked in the staff very nice. In room. No toilet paper, not even an empty roll. Had to go ask for it. The room had paper garbage under table. Breakfast was included but not much to speak of. I would never go back. Legs all bit up in the morning. Bed very uncomfortable and room very tiny. โ€ฆ
