A small place with a huge monastery. The hotel is very nicely located, with a view of the valley and the monastery. Connected to several hiking trails and really worth the trip😍

A really great hotel with friendly service. Eating in the in-house restaurant is also highly recommended. The location with a view of the monastery and the forest is beautiful. I'd love to come back.

Hey people!You know beforehand that two buses are coming, so why doesn't the service work on a day like this? I felt like people had never done this before. The tables don't have numbers, which would have made things easier for the staff...Then I had cheese spaetzle with almost no cheese and a little cold. However, a nice lady saved this mishap with a drink of your choice on the house, thank you for that, that's not available everywhere.Hotel has a nice location, the food didn't blow me away, but if I'm there again I'll come and eat again to see what it's like in normal operation.

The location was magical, the room was warm and cozy, the breakfast was perfect, and the restaurant on-site had the best food we ate in the area. We had a problem with our reservation and they refunded us without any issue :) We highly recommend going there!
