Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was amazing with a beautiful roll-top bath and massive double shower, and the housekeeping staff were really friendly and helpful. However, not having a fridge in the room was a bit inconvenient. The location was stunning, with plenty of outdoor seating areas, but the dining experience could have been improved with better bread and croissants.
The hotel offers a mixed bag of experiences. The rooms are decent but nothing special, and the service is hit or miss. The location is convenient but lacks charm. The dining options are satisfactory but with limited breakfast timings.
The hotel had lovely gardens and nice rooms ready for us, but they did smell musty and were a bit tired, especially the bathroom. The service was friendly, but some staff seemed inexperienced and stressed. The location was convenient for various attractions and town exploration. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with good choices but also some disappointments. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
