An average stay
Converted garage, not connected to bathroom/kitchen facilities.
Clean and comfortable, but definitely not hotel standard.

Perfect sleeping hub for a one night stay. Got all you need plus access to the kitchen to warm up food. Worth the price paid for.

Sehr schön und ich fand‘s romantisch
Die Unterkunft war sehr gemütlich und mit Loggia und und Kamin ausgestattet. Es gab einen grossen Esstisch, wir man sich gut mit den anderen Gästen unterhalten konnte. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet.
Der Gastgeber war äusserst freundlich und hilfsbereit.

We had a lovely stay at Tristan and Yoko's backpackers. It was lovely and warm, with a log burner that Tristan looked after while we were there. There was te and coffee avaliable and an amazing massage chair. We enjoyed our chats with Tristan. Would stay again.
