Super cadre et piscine thermales

9.0

Très joli hôtel en bordure du fleuve. La localisation est son point fort, au calme et il dispose de 3 bassins d’eau thermale chaude extérieurs et 1 un peu plus grand en semi intérieur. Jolies chambres spacieuses, confortables, bonne literie (2 lits doubles). Chauffage d’appoint disponible en chambre (nous n’avons pas du tout eu froid) Véhicule nécessaire Restaurant sur place correct (prix raisonnables). ambiance le soir sympa avec une zone jeux de sociétés, billard et cheminée. Quelques canapés pour se reposer. Bon petit dejeuner

Bon Wifi mais par contre uniquement dans le bâtiment principal

Thermalbecken Aussicht von den oberen Zimmern Bequeme Betten mit dicken Decken Heizkörper beweglich Essen im Restaurant

Kein TV; Internet nur in der Lobby; Zimmerreinigung beschränkt auf Bad (Betten etc. nicht gemacht); Toilette undicht, Zimmerwechsel angeboten; Überall Schlitze (Fenster, Türen) lassen Kälte in die Zimmer; Im Restaurant hätte man ruhig öfter nachfragen können, ob noch Wünsche offen sind bzw. noch etwas bestellt werden möchte; Kicker und Billard im Restaurant stört die Ruhe beim Essen; Kamin im Restaurant - Rauch zieht in alle Zimmer; Zufahrt schwer zugänglich (zum Glück war es nicht glatt), Schotterparkplatz (Anfahrschwierigkeiten);

This place gives you a very local feeling, which is great, it's under marketed. Prices are cheaper (by 50%) to Colca lodge even though facilities are comparable to quite an extent.

The menu can be expanded, had lunch and dinner and had to choose from the same list of 4 or 5 items. The hot spring enclosures are great but the water temperature were far below the states 35 degrees.
