Overall, for almost $500 per night, you would expect more.
Pros:

Location, on the main street.

Cons:

I recently stayed at Hotel Valhala and was not impressed. First off, there’s no elevator, which means navigating narrow, steep steps to the second floor with luggage is a real challenge. The room itself is located at the back of the hotel, facing a retaining wall or slope just a few meters away, so you get no sunlight. Additionally, the room was dim due to the absence of a ceiling light, creating a dingy atmosphere.

The furniture in the room seems to be a mismatched collection of old leftovers rather than a thoughtfully curated setup. The armchairs, in particular, are oversized and awkwardly placed, making it nearly impossible to move around comfortably—especially when trying to reach the bedside. Overall, the practical and aesthetic shortcomings made for a disappointing stay.

A lovely relaxing stay
Pros:

My partner and I had a lovely experience at the Star Hotel Walhalla. The location is remote, very beautiful - a genuine getaway from the madding crowd and the hosts are warm and extremely knowledgeable. Dinner and breakfast are included and they were both very enjoyable. Dinner was especially good - simple fare cooked to perfection - you can't go wrong. There's a lot to commend a stay at the Star Walhalla.

Cons:

The main meal was included in the price. It wasn't great. The risotto was dry and clumped together. Everything else was great.
