The room we received was cozy and spacious. It was clean and had everything we needed. Although it was a bit off the beaten path and seemed far from the city center, it actually turned out to be quite convenient. An additional advantage was the terrace outside the room with the titular view of the castle, which looks very atmospheric in the evening. The owners were incredibly friendly and responded to all our inquiries in no time. We can confidently recommend staying at The Castle View Inn.

    Great location and lovely host family. Served Raki on arrival, nice size room, had shutters to completely block out the light which allowed me to have an afternoon nap. Family was so kind, they took us the bus stop, they knew more about the bus schedules than the local information centre, bought breakfast for us to take with us. Great location, beautiful view from the shared terrace, close to the action of the main old town & castle, but also quiet. I highly recommend and would stay again.

    Great host family! They take super good care of you and will go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. They can also cook you breakfast and make coffee for a very reasonable fee. This hostel has all you need. Clean toilets, nice dining area and awesome terrace to enjoy a coffee. Beds and pillows are super comfy. The location is great, just a 2 minite stroll uphill to the bazaar and all the shops and restaurants, or a 5 minute downhill walk to town.
