Breakfasts are not what they were! .. not very healthy- lots of sugar and reused food / not hot selection - juice is boxed and sugary - coffee dispenser broken and unhygienic. Restaurant has extremely poor selection- no afternoon tea offered anymore. Amenities getting tired and old - not particularly child friendly- staff were grumpy ( one lovely exception!) location being built out - no fan in the bathroom- only two teabags in room , no milk, no refreshments offered in room. Won’t be back.

Não é um hotel de 3 estrelas e não cobra em dólar

Infelizmente não tivemos uma boa experiência. Cuidado quem vai pagar em dinheiro na estadia. O valor da conversão do dólar para peso é com base na cotação do dólar MEP. Uma dica é levar os dólares para pagar a estadia, senão a estadia vai sair 10% a mais na conversão do hotel para pesos. O quarto estava com problema no aquecedor e não tivemos a oportunidade de mudar, pois não havia disponibilidade de novo quarto. O café da manhã é bem fraco: pão, sugo e biscoitos. Nem as medialunas que é algo comum na região, infelizmente não tinha. O restaurante do hotel funciona apenas a noite - 19:30h às 22h. O quarto não tem espelho fora do banheiro e internet fraca. O banheiro acumula água e vaza para área de piso. Lembrando que ele fica há 18/20 minutos do centro. Como na cidade não tem Uber, o táxi é a única solução. A equipe de atendimento é simpática, mas se esforçou pouco nos problemas.

Excellent customer service

The service was top-notch. They held our bags while we went to visit the nearby glacier. The hotels feels more like a cosy B&B, with rustic charm, offering large bedrooms and nice garden view - plenty of spots to unwind with a good book. While for some being out of city may be difficult without a car, we enjoyed the quiet it provided. If you don't want to walk to town (~20mins), they offer dinner - must make reservations and pre-order.

Très très très bruyant

5 mois à l'avance nous avions demandé une chambre au premier étage de l'annexe et nous avons eu une chambre au rez-de-chaussée du bâtiment principal (petite chambre très très très bruyante et salle de bain également petite). On entendait le voisin ronfler. Nous avons passés les 2 dernières nuits au rez-de-chaussée de l'annexe ( plus grande mais toujours le bruit du voisin du dessus) Sinon l'accueil est chaleureux et le petit déjeuner quelconque
