9.4/10 Exceptional! (146 reviews)

Near bus station, walkable to city center, friendly stuff and clean. The downside: sound proof can be better and people can see through the key hole to your room.

8.4/10 Very Good! (406 reviews)

This is a really excellent hotel. It has a beautiful, old style and there has been a lot of attention to detail. The food is absolutely outstanding, the staff is excellent, and the views of the mountains over the lake are unforgettable. Price was very very reasonable. The only negative is that the Wi-Fi is pretty poor, but I suspect that has more to do with where it's located. than anything the hotel has control over. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
