The worst thing guests say

Stairs and breakfast are the recurring comments. A guest in July 2026 felt unwelcome at check-in. In August 2026 a guest said breakfast was nearly sold out at 9:30. A guest in December 2025 found reception often empty. Older reviews from 2018 mention a dirty shower, cobwebs and a musty smell, and 2020 and 2021 guests warned of many stairs with no elevator.

Insider tips

• There is no elevator and the stairs are steep, so ask which floor your room is on.
• Park near the funicular and ride up if driving is a worry.
• Breakfast is at the cafe downstairs, so go early.
