Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were very nice, offering a view towards the veggie garden and the forest. However, they were not air-conditioned, which made them quite hot in warm weather. The large bathroom was a plus, but the noise from the nearby motorway with odd beeping sounds was a minor drawback.
The hotel room was spacious and comfortable, located on the ground floor with patio doors to the gardens, making it a nice choice for families. However, the absence of toiletries in the room, especially in the master bedroom without AC or a window and with kids' bunk beds, was a downside.
The hotel has a decent size rooms equipped with all necessary amenities like iron and ironing board, Nespresso machine, and hair dryer. However, it could use air conditioning and a general touch-up. The location is impressive and surrounded by immaculate surroundings, although there were some issues with service in terms of knowledge and availability. The dining experience had some exclusive items but lacked value for money. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel offers fabulous rooms with a separate shower and bath tub, providing a comfortable stay. The service, although extremely friendly and helpful, needs improvement in terms of product knowledge and friendliness. The dining experience is good value with a sumptuous buffet, albeit more focused on quantity than quality. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few areas that could be enhanced.
