Pros:

Hotel was easy to find. Access to reception is through a flight of stairs, have to carry your heavy luggage. The room that was given to us smelled bad and noticed the toilet had not been cleaned; I immediately notified the receptionist and right away placed us in a better room and handled the situation. I wish I could give a better review, even after the issue was resolved, but I did not feel comfortable for the remainder of my stay (use of bathroom, eating in the restaurant).

Good location, friendly staff
Pros:

We stayed here for 1 night during our ring road trip. The hotel reception area was nice and the staff were friendly, especially the barman. There was a pool table in the bare area which was good fun.
Dinner was very good, the baked cheese with pistachios and honey was amazing, we both also had burgers which were good too.
A 4 rating has been given for the dated bathroom, but apart from that, would recommend.

No value for money
Pros:

Hotel is below average meanwhile price is quite high, no value for money at all. Room was in a bad condition, it’s actually like a Motel or Hostel.

Not recommended
Pros:

This is a hotel with rooms that are very old and dated. Tiny tiny bathroom with only an overhead shower. No shower wand or shower cap so be prepared to get your hair wet. No tissues, hair conditioner or other amenities you would expect at this price point. Hair dryer provided is also ancient. Requires you to continuously squeeze the handle in order for air to flow. Then it practically overheats. No cool button. Ridiculous place. No staff around in the breakfast area. Most of the food was cold and picked over by 9 am. There are very few hotels and guesthouses in this area so they can do what they want and guests have to take it. If you can book elsewhere, I suggest doing so.

조식을 알차게 주는 숙소
Pros:

아침을 든든하게 먹고 갈 수 있어서 인상깊었던 숙소였습니다. 1층에 배정받으면 마을 전체 뷰를 따로 볼 수는 없으니 참고 바랍니다.
