Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a quiet area with stunning surroundings, offering a nice large garden ideal for pictures. The rooms were well-equipped but had a slight smell of smoke at times, and the temperature was too warm at night. The staff was friendly and helpful, although there were minor issues with understanding specific requests. The dining options were varied, but some dishes lacked consistency in preparation. Overall, a pleasant stay with beautiful views and easy access from the main road.
I loved staying at this hotel. The rooms were clean and luxurious with a nice view over the gardens, but it was a bit warm and stuffy at night. The service was professional and friendly, especially the bar staff, although some members seemed stressed. The location was excellent for visiting family near the train station and delightful for walking into town. The dining experience was mostly very good, with some minor issues. Overall, a great stay with a few hiccups.
The hotel is tucked away in a quiet location; the rooms are spotless and never fail to impress, although the view of the garden during breakfast is now blocked. The service was accommodating in fulfilling special requests but lacked in some basic understandings. The location is convenient for exploring the area with lovely surroundings but lacked efficiency in certain aspects. The dining experience, while adequate, had some delays and inconsistencies in pricing. Overall, a mixed experience with highs and lows.
