Esta reseña quiere ser una alabanza a la calidad humana. Reservamos con diez días de antelación para temporada alta, agosto, en principio, sin derecho a reembolso en caso de cancelación. Sin embargo, sufrimos un grave accidente de automóvil que nos impidió no sólamente acudir aquella noche, sino realizar todas nuestras vacaciones. Cuando, unos días después del accidente, pudimos llamar para avisarles de que no íbamos a poder ir, nos indicaron ellos mismos cómo poder solicitar la cancelación gratuita. Muchas gracias por haber tenido en consideración nuestra situación. Actitudes así, en que alguien podría aprovecharse de su condición pero no lo hace y muestra humanidad, son de gran valor.

Fue una agradable sorpresa ya que al ir solo por una noche y hacer la reserva sin mucha antelación no aspiramos a mucho pero volvería, si el baño es compartido pero eso ya lo sabíamos y nunca nos topamos con nadie, además estaba limpio y espacioso, hay una zona común para tomar te o guardar cosas en el refrigerador. La habitación bien precio calidad.

All you could ask for after a long day out hiking. My room was nice & clean, the host very responsive, welcoming & just overall very friendly. Location is not far from the centre nor the harbour ~5 min walking distance. If Iam back in the area I would definitely stay here again.

Immaculately clean establishment. Very warm welcome from lovely host. Near waterfront for walks. We had a double room with private bathroom and it was spotless, with enough space for our stuff. We were able to use the kettle and microwave upstairs.
