Szep a kornyezet, kedvesek a tulajdonosok, egy kis odafigyelessel ez egy jo szallas is lehetne.
Pros:

A tulajdonosok nagyon kedvesek es segitokeszek voltak, kutya es cica is van a szallas kerjeben, ok tunderiek voltak

Cons:

Sajnos a tulajdonosok nagyon eros dohanyosok, igy mindennek cigaretta szaga volt, a szobanak, a kozos helysegnek, ez nagyon zavaro volt. A kornyezet nagyon szep, de latszik a szallason, hogy jobb idoket megelt, mara viszont elhanyagolt. Ami nagyon zavaro volt, hogy egy masik vendeg hangoskodott az udvaron es nem kezelte a tulajdonos, nekunk kellett vele osszetuzesbe kerulni es meg utana is tartott, sajnos nem sokat tudtunk aludni.

Pros:

La proximité du lac

Cons:

Le bruit. Il y avait un soirée privée dans le restaurant en-dessous de la chambre. Impossible de dormir avant 2h du matin… après avoir roulé 12h.

Pros:

I liked the style of the rooms and the environment around.

Cons:

There was no elevator if needed (the reception was at first floor and the room even higher flat). In the room we found a lot of green shield bugs.

Not recomend this place
Pros:

The location is good with views of the lake and the forest above the building. We were in a studio for two and after 50 days of traveling all over Europe, I can say that this was the dirtiest and most uncomfortable room. The sofa was covered in large stains, as was the bedspread. We slept with our clothes on without using anything, there was not even soap. The price we paid was 124 euros plus a 15 euro dog fee for this dirty room. We don't mind basic furnishings, but hygiene is important. I am surprised by the positive ratings for this property and I do not recommend it.

Cons:

Everything except good location.
