Wonderful Spa Experience

“During my visit, I was thoroughly impressed by the spa facilities. The pool was quite large and maintained at a perfect temperature for swimming. I enjoyed a hot-stone massage that was incredibly relaxing and a highlight of my stay. The spa truly added an extra touch of luxury to my experience.” view full review

Excellent Dining Options

“I found the dining services to be quite impressive, especially the vegetarian options available in the restaurant. The set menu offered good portion sizes and tasted good. I made a point to explore local dining options, so I didn't dine in every evening, but the meals I did enjoy were satisfying and well-prepared.” view full review

Comfortable and Comfy Rooms

“The standard king room I stayed in was lovely and clean, featuring useful amenities like a coffee machine and complimentary bottled water. The room was quiet, allowing for a restful night's sleep. The thoughtful touches, like fluffy dressing gowns and slippers, enhanced the comfort of the stay.” view full review

6.4/10

The hotel has a lovely exterior and beautiful surroundings, but our experience was marred by several disappointments. Our first room was cramped and not what we expected for the price we paid, and the service was lacking, especially at check-in. We were also not impressed with the noise from other guests, which disrupted our stay. The breakfast was decent, but our overall impression was tainted by unresolved issues during our stay.

Rooms

The initial room we were assigned was small and dingy, far from what we expected from an executive suite. We later moved to a slightly better room, still lacking basic amenities like a fridge.

The hotel has a charming yet somewhat tired appearance with a historic vibe, and while my room was clean and comfortable, it felt more on the average side. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with excellent food but slow service and occasional mix-ups. The pool area was nice but could be warmer, making it a mixed bag overall.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel with a beautiful room that featured a four-poster bed and a charming sitting area. While the hotel could use some updates, it had a clean pool and spa that we thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were polite and helpful, but some areas seemed a bit chaotic, especially during breakfast. Overall, it was a good value, especially with the competitive pricing for our room.

8.0/10

The hotel has a central location with some charming character but falls short in cleanliness and service, with issues like a poor check-in experience and dirty rooms. I found the dining to be quite good but pricey for what it is. Facilities like the spa and pool are a plus but overall, it's not a place I'll return to given the negative experiences I had.
