Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was simply amazing, cool enough even on a hot summer night, and incredibly comfortable. However, cleanliness could have been better. The service was excellent, with a very helpful and polite staff that even showed us how to get to the hotel. The location was very picturesque, surrounded by nature, although I have experienced better luxury in the 90s style. The dining experience was the only redeeming feature of this old property, with really good food options. The facilities were also top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers spacious but outdated rooms with a modern bathroom and a Super-king size bed. The cleanliness and comfort were satisfactory, but some areas need updating. The service was friendly, although there were minor issues with faulty lamps. The location was a mix of difficulties in finding it and lovely aspects outdoors, but with noise disturbances at night. The dining was not up to a 4-star standard, but the breakfast was enjoyable. The facilities were decent, though some aspects need improvement.
The hotel offers a spacy American-style room with a beautiful view, equipped with a table, lounge chairs, bath, and a separate shower. However, the room may trigger allergies, and the TV is quite old.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and had beautiful views, but the lack of focus on customer service was noticeable. The location, though surrounded by nature, felt a little difficult to reach directly. The dining options were average, and the facilities were not exceptional.
The hotel had very big and comfortable rooms with a super-king size bed, table, lounge chairs, bath, and separate shower. Although the cleanliness could have been better, the spaciousness and comfort were notable. The service was pleasant and hard-working, with old linens being a downside. The location, with a deafening noise from colony of starlings in the courtyard at dusk, seemed a little difficult to reach but with a great location within easy access by car. The dining options were very poor, especially for a good level hotel, lacking healthier choices. The facilities were sufficient, although the traditional fish dish was highlighted positively.
