"The walk from the bus to the hotel is quite steep, so it's not recommended for solo travelers (especially with luggage). There's no elevator, and the staff needed help carrying luggage. Since I was traveling alone, I booked a single room. Looking up the website, I remember there were three single rooms available, and the view from the one I was assigned wasn't particularly good. However, the interior was relatively new and clean, and I was particularly pleased with the spacious shower in the bathroom. The toiletries were very nice, and they also provided small cookies, snacks, and a bottle of mineral water upon check-in. There are some great deals on the hotel website for spring and summer, so check before booking. The highly recommended breakfast is also available on a la carte basis. I noticed a window seat available, but the staff refused twice. The third time, they reluctantly offered to move me to a window seat, saying ”Oh my God!” so I deducted a point for their service. However, the view was beautiful. Overall, I recommend this for solo backpackers or for booking a signature room for two."
