Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a modern touch with air conditioning and ambient lighting, but it could use a 'lick of paint' on the walls. It feels a bit outdated and not entirely in line with the castle vibe; more like staying at your great granny's house. Some tender loving care would definitely spruce it up.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience. The staff was excellent and the service top-notch, although it could be a bit slow at times. The rooms were spacious and cozy, offering a very comfortable bed, but it was very warm at night despite no heating being turned on. The location was fantastic, close to the restaurant and bar area, yet surprisingly quiet. However, the dining options were not as expected for a 4-star hotel, lacking variety and excitement.
My experience at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with a very comfortable bed, but the noise from the old abbey and smoking area outside the window was quite bothersome. The service I received from the staff was superb, with friendly and efficient attention to detail. The location was lovely, although the dining experience left much to be desired with long delays and subpar quality. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel is situated in a lovely location near an old abbey with fabulous surroundings. The rooms were clean, spacious, and cozy, offering a comfortable stay. The service was very good, with a helpful and pleasant staff. However, the dining options were disappointing with limited choices that quickly went cold. The price, although higher than expected, offered nice traditional touches in the breakfast. The hotel facilities were well-maintained and convenient.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped, but unfortunately, the noise from kids running around was quite disruptive. The lack of clear signage around the leisure center and directions to rooms was a downside.
The hotel rooms have had a recent upgrade and are super modern, making my stay lovely and extremely spacious with a big window to let in natural light. It was located near Burner, but I couldn't read in the room, which was very disappointing.
The hotel was not up to 4-star standards; the rooms were tiny, lacked heating in mid-November, and needed significant renovation. However, the service was friendly even though not well-trained, and the location was convenient despite needing redecoration. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities were okay.
