  This place is actually small inn. The room is very small. I felt suffocating. Bathroom is also too small. It is hard to move my body back and forth. The air conditioner is turned on, but still too hot. It doesn't help cool down the room. Sink is too small, so it is uncomfortable to wash hands, and water splashed everywhere. Sink drain is poor, so water was filled inside the sink fast. The awful smells came from bed and pillows. Mattress and pillows had been used quite a long time(probably never changed). There were combined smells with a lot of sweats and others. I couldn't sleep because of the strong smells. The smells affected my nerve and nose, so I had headache. Additionally the noisy traffic sounds hindered my sleep. I slept barely. I had to wake up quite often because of cars' sounds from the road, too. This inn is beside the road. I think new ower bought this really old and worn out inn and renovated rooms, but didn't replace old mattresses and pillows. There was one more bad thing. Towels had bad smells. I smelt all towels, and there were unpleasant smells. When laundry is not dried probably, there are similar smells. The ower must understand that he has to take care of everything including guests. If he doesn't care of guests, nobody will stay there. This place is very very terrible. The room charge is not cheap. I uploaded the poor sink drain.

  Nice German restaurant. Go for Schnitzel and Spätzle - best choice!

  The owners are really friendly. Room was nicely decorated with a comfortable bed. Price was reasonable. Located in a good location. Only down side was the room got a little chilly overnight, but not uncomfortably chilly. I'd stay here again.

  I stayed here during my motorbike trip in 2016. The booking was very last minute after finding out Nelson was... well.. Nelson. The lady there was extremely helpful and accomodating. The room was exceptionally nice for the price and its location. Everything was clean and unlike Janes comment, I was well and truly warm enough at the tail end of winter.
