A good stay
"We had a good stay. Like other people have mentioned, the walls are thin and you can hear people talking next door, but the room was cozy. We had a bunk bed with another single twin bed.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

The Service in the restaurants (there are only 2 open in the winter) is unbelievably slow and inefficient. The food is excellent. A great place to go if the wether is nice.
