Clean room. Property set against a mountain with 2 small waterfalls, very scenic and secluded. No shoes allowed inside, which makes it a little difficult to get in and out. A little porch will make it easier to put/take shoes on/off in rhe cold

The Ekra was very clean and comfortable. The no contact check in was smooth, we found our room with no issues and used the emailed code to access. The location is stunning with amazing views from all of the rooms and a waterfall right behind the hotel.
