The location is very convenient. It is close to the center and about 30 mins from the main hiking spots. The breakfast offers a very good selection of foods for dinner and lunch. The beds are very comfortable.

The room cleaning was not perfect. A nearby farm includes hens and roosters, and they woke me up every morning.
