Alpina Einhorn

1.0 star property
6.8 out of 10, (3)
"Not sure why someone gave this a 2 rating? It is a solid 7. It is not a 4 star hotel, and the price paid reflects this. Room was basic but sound, shared toilet annoying but not the end of the world, private shower did the job. Access to property automated and worked very simply if following instructions on how to use it. The breakfast was excellent and as Spartan or plentiful as you chose to make it. Wolfenschiesse is not Englberg, but has everything you need in close proximity "
