Had a lovely overnight stay. Their restaurant is fabulous. Room was very comfortable. Since we were here in the Fall, the hotel was very quiet. Only a few guests. Service was excellent. ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thomas 20 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Not impressed with our stay. We arrived at the hotel and found that the room did not correspond to the pictures on the website. Renovation work was in process. The room was very dusty. The floor is scratched and the furniture has seen better days. Te bathroom is old style and needs renovation. The air-conditioning did not work. The sleeping with open window was not a good choice as the room was giving on a busy street. Wi-Fi is patchy. After making a complaint, we were not able to change the room, as apparently the hotel was fully booked. The ray of sunshine of our stay was the good evening meal and the breakfast that is served in a nice ambience. Free parking is available at the hotel grounds. Let´s hope that after renovation the hotel gets back to a decent standard as advertised. ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia 25 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful, beautiful hotel with stunning views and excellent restaurant. ##### Julia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eugene 21 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Loved the hotel ##### Eugene Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Liz 13 Oct 2025 Room clean but would benefit from a bathroom update.
