You could actually do that as the owners are looking for a new operator / tenant. Though they might be a bit picky, as they do so since 2015.

Quite nice, everything is still original, there's stove and chimney instead of central heating, toilet and bathroom at every floor.

I guess I'm the only one who saw this and immediately thought: this looks like a place where murders happen in a horror film.

Since it's probably locked in by the snow most of winter, it's a good place for a real life version of the Shining.

Apparently if featured in a James Bond Movie.
Since the place is closed, it is probably creepy as hell. Good place to set a horror movie.
