Cozy and very friendly cafe hotel.
I Loved looking out onto the blue glacial river. The owner had great insights to some of the outdoor activities as he had been a canyoneering guide for many years prior. He and the staff were amazing, very friendly, and tried to accommodate as best they could. The rooms were cozy, newly renovated with a simple design. The cafe had wonderful desserts. The free breakfast was simple but enough with cold items. Hot food could be ordered from a menu for additional cost from the cafe.

Great little place located above the cafe. Everyone was very nice especially the owner who offered us great advice on sites to see. Lite breakfast included each morning which was a plus. Located fairly close to the train station and city center but there is a bus which stops close to the hotel. The room had a beautiful view and was plenty spacious. Our bed was pretty hard and there is no elevator which was a bit tough on my knee pain.
