Reviews
An El-kettel in the room would be a nice to have for a couple of tea after a long hike in the mountains.
50€ for a small chicken breast and two drinks. We ordered tap water and they brought us a bottle for 5,40€ 😱😱😱
We said we were sharing the platter and they charged us 2€ service fee for an empty plate, but they didn’t warn us.
There wasn’t enough for even one person, this was the most expensive little piece of chicken I’ve ever paid in my life.
