Very beautiful interior, tasteful. A feeling of coziness. Peace and quiet despite the fact that the guesthouse is located near the highway. I definitely recommend staying and enjoying.

The downside is that breakfast is not included, which is understandable. The hotel business seems more like a side venture here, and there probably aren’t many guests staying, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, because of this, the breakfast time isn’t very hotel-friendly—it starts at 11 AM. We wake up much earlier, and since there’s not much else to do until breakfast, we spent that time in the room. While that’s not a big issue, most people expect breakfast to be available from 6, 7, or 8 AM so they can eat and head out for the day. If an early breakfast is important to you, this might not be the best place. However, since breakfast isn’t included in the price anyway, you could always stay here and eat elsewhere. That said, given the location, there may not be many other options around!

The place is located on the outskirts of the small village of Rubene, right by the beautiful lake Anša ezers. It’s a quiet spot, though a bit remote. However, it is fairly close to the city of Valmiera, and we chose to stay there during our trip since we couldn’t find a nice room in Valmiera, which is just a short drive away. The hotel itself is quite hidden—it’s located on the second floor of the famous Mazais Ancis restaurant/café, which is what this place is best known for. We didn’t even realize they had rooms available for overnight stays! However, the room was stylish and well-equipped. We stayed there during the winter, and it was clean and warm. Breakfast is available downstairs in the café, but with a separate entrance from the outside, which brings me to one downside...

You had to wait for warm water a bit too long.

The room was lovely, view was beautiful even late winter time, so during summer it is wi derful, lake. Bathroom was beautiful, good bed, enough room. Eating at the restaurant was best, food is good and service was perfect.

The rooms were above the restaurant and therefore it was noisy until 10.30 pm. The hotel was located next to a main road and therefore there was constant car noise. It's possible to have only late breakfast (from 11:00 am).

Beautiful room design and cleanliness was very good.

It would be perfect if the doors of the room would be soundproof.

The dinner was not very good this time, last year it was much better. Maybe because the restaurant was very full this time and the kitchen seemed very busy.

The rooms are spacious and clean and with air conditioning. The surroundings are very beautiful. Good value for money for the accommodation.

We were at first worried about where to have breakfast since we had to participate an event in Valmiera the next morning. Thanks to restaurant staff we got some food nicely prepared that was not on the menu. An option to have breakfast would make the stay 10 out of 10!

-The room would benefit from more soundproofing -The price was a bit too high for the property of such kind and the location

-Spacious and beatiful room -Great view through the window -Excellent location since we had an event at the property

Restaurant available only after 11:00 in the morning, so better prepare Your breakfast in advance (refrigerator available in the room). The music from the restaurant is very audible upstairs in the rooms.

Close to our destination - Karl Waltertools masterclass and also Valmiera and Valmiermuiža.

For us it was no problem, but the stairs are quite steep to the 2nd floor. Breakfast might be nice a little earlier, the restaurant opened at 11am.

Beautiful, cozy and clean room. Very nice staff and restaurant downstairs. Very quiet after the restaurant closed. Beautiful and well maintained garden with lots of details. My dog enjoyed the garden also. Would definitely return.

No towels in room. Breakfast was available late in the morning. Was worned that could get little noisy when restaurant full at later hours. That was not the case on weekday.

Quiet countryside guesthouse behind a restaurant. Could get desent meal later in the evening. Room is simple but really cozy.
