Pros:

Nice room with comfy beds. Great picnic bench outside for breakfast with a view. Cooking facilities all good with 4 ring hob, oven, microwave, coffee maker etc. Our room even had its own washer/drier which was a great addition. Great location just of ring road with amazing mountain backdrop.

Cons:

Sofa bed was a bit uncomfortable and one sink had a dysfunctional plug. But these didnt impact our stay. Otherwise all good.

Cons:

Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very unpleasant receptionist. The rooms did not feel completely clean; we found stained bed linen and dust that had not been cleaned.

Très bien, je recommande dans l'ensemble
Pros:

Chambre très spacieuse, lits propres et confortables, cuisine fonctionnelle et bien équipée, bon restaurant, possibilité d'aller au jacuzzi et au saune gratuitement.

Cons:

La douche m'était de l'eau dans toute la salle de bain, situation géographique un peu au milieu de nulle part.

geräumige Unterkunft und okay für eine Nacht
Pros:

Uns hat gut gefallen, dass die Lage direkt an der Ringstraße ist und dass es sehr geräumig ist. Wir hatten eine schöne Aussicht und einen geteilten Hot Tub. Waschmaschine mit Trocknerfunktion ist ebenfalls vorhanden.

Cons:

Was uns leider nicht so gut gefallen hat, war der Hot an sich, weil dort Bakterien Filme drinne waren. Da waren durchsichtige Schmierstreifen drinne. Die wir selbst mit dem Kescher/sieb nicht richtig rausbekommen haben, so dass wir uns danach zusätzlich noch mal geduscht haben.
