priced a little too high

This was a nice place. The description said 3 twin beds. It did not say that 2 were up steep stairs to a loft. Common area was nice and good kitchen facilities. I felt price was high since everything offered cost extra. Bathroom floor was not leveled properly so water ran over entire floor.

The description online indicated that there is a reception and restaurant on premises. However, they were both closed our entire stay. It was very inconvenient to have to go into town for food.

ツインタイプの部屋に泊まりました。 ロッジ風の小屋で、4部屋で共同のトイレ、シャワールーム/洗面でした。 12月は-10度ほど行く日もたりましたが、オイル暖房でとても部屋はあたたかかったです。 滞在中、雨が降った日だけ2〜3分の停電が何度もありました。 共同洗面にはドライヤーがあり、また、電子レンジ、湯沸かし器、使い捨てスプーン、フォーク、紙皿、紙コップがあり、重宝しました。 施設全般としては清潔に保たれており、快適でした。
