Guest rating: 10/10 (14 reviews)
Review: Spinas Gathaus is a real charmer. It's steps away from the train depot, and surrounded by majestic hills. The staff is excellent as are the meals at the hotel restaurant. Don't let the "hostel" label turn you off. It's more like a top flight bed and breakfast. Highly recommended., by Ralph, January 5, 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent
