Not impressed at all by what was supposed to be a 'genuine experience'. I arrived relatively late - around 9pm. Nobody was there. I had to look for them in the 'castle' and had the impression to disturb the person in charge. They just have somebody providing you with your room number as there is no key for the rooms. I was on the 3rd floor in a 10 or 12 bed-room- bathroom facilities were on the ground floor and not the cleanest I've seen. No breakfast in provided. They charge you f Raphael, from France ~ 4th Sep 2009

It'awesome! You can't beat the ambiance of this place. Even if it's far from the city centre it worth it! (And it's a person without a car who says it). Maryke, from Switzerland ~ 13th Aug 2009
