location near the lake and train station

none

Lovely clean room Excellent breakfast On a good bus route

Nothing

Good location for the price.

The walls are quite thin so we could hear quite a lot throughout the house, even downstairs.

Good priced accommodation with a good bus access from the train station. In a quiet area with a great access to hiking routes. We had a great view from our window - overlooking the mountains. There was a convenient access to the kitchen with various appliances, such as oven, microwave and a kettle - very useful for home cooking; as well as a table to eat at in our room. The instructions were made clear via messages on booking.com on how to access the property and get breakfast.

The property itself remained unlocked with a big sign announcing it to the outside - making us feel a bit uneasy, especially at night, accessing common spaces. As the rooms have no private bathroom we needed to cross the communal corridor, access to which was available to anyone from the street without any key needed. No private bathroom was inconvenient, and the bathroom itself was small, and rather outdated. The shower was difficult to use and possibly broken, the shower doors were hard to manoeuvre and the water blocked leaving loads of leftover water on the floor after the shower. Overall, the property did not feel clean - especially the communal areas. The kitchen in particular was quite filthy, and smelled bad. Breakfast was disappointing. Most of the items were still in the fridge when we arrived - we had to look for it ourselves - a rather sad selection of cheeses and ham and some jams. There were also fruit. cereal, milk, Nutella and some hardboiled eggs. No vegan or gluten-free options provided. Bread was the biggest disappointment - a selection of bags filled with leftover bread, all quite stale and looked a few-days old. As the bread required self-cutting it all felt quite unhygienic. There were pre-packed waffles and pain au chocolates (2 of each to be exact) in numbers that suggested they were not re-stocked that morning (and we arrived almost as soon as the breakfast opened). We were left highly disappointed in the selection. The sitting area was also open in the flat of other guests - which felt somewhat uncomfortable and for people who do not want to mix with others (at least first thing in the morning) created unpleasant intimacy. Having said that, whilst the intimacy or closeness with other guests might be to be expected in a B&B. other aspects of B&B experience were not fulfilled - that is, we never got to meet our hosts in person and the breakfast was self-served rather than a buffet-style; and the instructions were all online.
