"The best thing about this place is the view. Totally incomparable. The facilities themselves could use some TLC - they are making the transition from “gently used” and slightly dingy to rundown. Also, the rooms are infested with ants."

"Es war nicht genau das gebuchte Zimmer gemäss den Fotos. Der Balkon resp. Aussicht aber schon. Das Bad ist meiner Meinung nach sanierungsbedürftig. Der Duschboden, die Platten sind gesprungen wie auch manchen Orten in der Unterkunft. Ist wohl schon was älter. Die Fenster wurden neu gemacht."
