Go there and contact
Opened in 1915 and classified as a historic monument, it is the oldest hotel in Platres still in operation. It is for this reason that we have chosen to recommend it. Because if the service and quality of this old palace are no longer in the taste of the day, we especially appreciate the retro atmosphere, the surprising decor of the living room with its pine that pushed through the carpet and the roof. For this alone, you can come there with a drink. The restaurant is not worth a detour. Part of the hotel has been recently restored and all rooms have Wi-fi and TV. Six of them were transformed into studio with kitchen. The management, aware of the weaknesses of the facility, proposes frequent reductions.

Breakfast has a good variety of things and the outside veranda area with a view of pine trees, the nightingales singing gives a relaxing feelings out of this world.
I would definitely recommend but it is not for everyone. Unique experience.
Important Note: Internet here has not improved over the years and it’s terrible.
The location for mountains is wonderful with great walks and easy to get to the town for an evening out.
The room was small but comfortable, there is No aircon but even in summer you get a breeze and the room is comfortable. The room was decorated with pine furniture which adds to the character. The wifi is a bit slow but who cares, you are here to explore this area!
The terrace for a drink was lovely and also to enjoy the local breakfast.
Service. The personnel is polite and willing even when the place is busy, and the owners are very helpful.
Rooms. Though old and small, they are clean and tidy, but they definitely need a renovation, like the rest of the hotel.
As the hotel is ideal for rest and relaxation, it would be a good idea to introduce "quite hours" from both visitors and hotel residents.
