The location is really sensational- inside the grounds of the historic castle, with the mountain behind you and sweeping views to the valley below. There was lots to like here, including the great price, the comfortable bed, the simple but decent breakfast (note- what I thought was apple juice was in fact hot tea!). The location as well as being stunning is ideally situated for the main museums and exploring the centre of the town. The only thing we weren't keen on which could be easily rectified is that we thought that there was a bit of a hard sell about the dinner- we hadn't even got to our room and the owner was telling us we should book it. When I tried to say that we'd think about it (we were actually climbing the mountain and it was hard to know when we'd be back) he told us things like it would show respect, he had given us the best room etc. Once I was firm we needed time to decide (we did choose to have dinner in the end anyway) he backed down, but it felt like a non-relaxing start to our stay and a bit pushy. Best to just let the guests find their feet when they arrive before pressuring them. Other than that, a really special place.
