Great place to stay; part is a restaurant with good athmosphere and good plain food. Owners/staff is friendly, very calm, easy going. Room was good, beds were perfect, bathroom a bit cramped but ok.
In this season (May) Mikro Papingo is quiet, but in weekends it gets crowded and also loud. Also at night people tend to speak loudly or shout, so be warned ;)
Just outside the trail starts to the mountain (refuge and Dragolimni); it's a tough steep climb but very doable; it's possible to hike in 5 hours return, but of course you want to stay longer to watch the mountains, the chamois and the flowerbeds.
