- Alex (4/5): Für eine Nacht in Ordnung - Das Personal war sehr bemüht. Deutlich in die Jahre gekommen. Unsere Betten waren zwar nicht durchgelegen aber das Inventar ist schon sehr abgenutzt. Die Türen lassen sich schwer wieder aufsperren. Das Bad müsstest vor allem am Waschbecken neu silikoniert werden. Es ist wirklich SEHR hellhörig.

- Katharina (8/5): - Had a very nice stay , amazing sleeping room with balcony with a beautiful view. Lovely hosts. We didn’t test the pool but looked very nice! Bathroom could have been a little bit cleaner but the reason it didn’t seem like it could also be that it’s very old.

Mandalay is also perfectly situated with most attractions just 15 mins away. We look forward to staying at Mandalay House again next year. We loved everything about Mandaly house.

Era muy completa y tenía todo lo necesario asi que estuvimos agusto. No puedo valorar mas ya que llegamos de noche para dormir y tuvimos que marcharnos a primera hora asi que no usamos el resto de servicios.
