The hotel itself was very clean, modern and the room was very clean and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were both very good with plenty of options. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 7 Oct 2023 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The buffet is excellent. Also very good is the swimming-pool. The ventilation was rather noisy. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Spectacular location with breathtaking views. The city itself does not have much to offer though. The hotel is super well equipped, the gym and spa are outstanding. The restaurant serves good food and wines as good value prices. The rooms are not fantastically sound proofed so you will be aware of people around you. The staff were attentative and efficient. Overall it's worth a visit for the view and facitities. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicola 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness A bit of a mixed review. Rooms are large and comfortable. Air conditioning is very effective and quiet. Flooring and draperies are worn, stained and in need of deep cleaning or replacing. City view room balcony was a good size with reasonable chairs and table. Dining area and bar are attractive and spacious. Parking is excellent. We didn’t find staff particularly helpful or welcoming. The included breakfast is awful. I think possibly the worst we have experienced in Europe - hot offerings extremely limited, lukewarm, tasteless and unappetizing, There was no variety at all in our three day stay.

It was a relaxing stay. Our room was large with a balcony overlooking the city. The castle was a short walk from the hotel. The restaurant was good.

Pool area looks very nice. Pool bar staff was very friendly. I did not like the fact that they don’t sell big bottles of water. I absolutely don’t understand that there are still hotels that don’t sell Latte Macchiato or Iced Latte. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hai-Kwang 20 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good beds ##### Hai-Kwang Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Deb 18 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities They put us in a room across from a construction job in several rooms. It was ridiculous considering the place was empty. One of the workers yelled at me for using a beach towel. There is no cups for water in the gym and it just wasn't worth the money.

I stay one hour talking at hotels.com, spoke to 5 different people and no one solved my situation. I had to call 3 times and in the last time they told me the reservation was cancelled and no refund was sent to my account or information. After one big day travelling it was a nightmare. I hope they improve their service. ##### Camila Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jose J 4 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Todo casi perfecto con la excepcion de la alfombra del cuarto que necesita ser reemplazada y el colchón de la cama que es verdaderamente bien duro e uncomodo. ##### Jose J Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Antonio Carlos 2 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service O café da manhã é fraco. O secador de cabelo que estava no banheiro não funcionava e solicitamos a substituição, que foi feita, mas o outro também não funcionava. O meu quarto era no mesmo andar do restaurante, há 20 metros de distância, eu pedi uma taça de vinho vazia, pois eu tinha uma garrafa de vinho, e para que ela fosse entregue no meu quarto o preço era de 5 Euros. A piscina aquecida só não era totalmente fria, mas o aquecimento era muito pequeno. São situações incompatíveis com um hotel 5 estrelas. ##### Antonio Carlos Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lena 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Allt inklusive parkering var vi väldigt nöjda med. ##### Lena Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annabelle 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Chambre avec vue sur la ville très agréable Super petit déjeuner avec des produits locaux et dîner sous forme de buffet ou à la carte Vue exceptionnelle de la terrasse du bar sur les montagnes la campagne et la ville ainsi que de la salle de restaurant et du lobby !
