This facility is not staffed. They send you an email with codes to get into the building and into your room. The room was a bit small with a small round table for a desk (barely laptop size) and a chair. The beds were two twins pushed together. Breakfast was a bag stored in the fridge of a cheese sandwich, banana, yogurt, apple juice (or orange juice). However, there was some cereal there and you could make your own coffee/tea and porridge. Toilets and showers are central (separate lockable doors for each toilet and each shower). Robes and slippers are provided. Location has a view of the mine from the breakfast area and is walkable to the mine museum and underground tour pickup point. There is a nearby trail to hike around the mine.

Ok vistelse för så bulligt rum.
Sköna sängar och fräscht i alla rum. Jättevarmt i rummet pga ingen ventilation utan endast fläkt som vi fick sätta på direkt samt öppna fönstret. Men det blev lite svalare mot kvällen. Väldigt lyhört så man hörde när någon gick i korridoren sent på kvöllen/natten.

En mycket positiv överraskning var detta fina boende.
Allt som man önskade och prisvärt i en fin miljö.
Nära till allt med gångavstånd.
Kan rekommenderas .

Mycket trevligt ☺️även om vi inte träffade någon personal så fungerade allt perfekt. Frukostpåsen var god också. Kanske priset borde justeras lite nedåt om man ska ha en synpunkt.

Trevligt B&B med mycket omsorg om detaljerna
Trevligt B&B med mycket omsorg om detaljerna, Fint mottagande och all information man behöver. Saknade möjligen ett mysigt rum där man kunde umgås, den stora festsalen är inte riktigt så mysig.

Allt annat än ”konstigt” i konstmästarens bostad
Prisvärt, fräsch och en fantastiskt historisk miljö.
