Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a comfortable and clean stay with great value. The courtyard layout on two levels adds charm, and we appreciated that we could bring our bikes into the room without any issues. While the service was mostly attentive and delightful, there were slight hiccups in getting attention at the bar. The location, though ideal for exploring the area and with tranquil surroundings, might be a bit far for those wanting a leisurely stroll. The dining experience, while offering a variety of items, fell short for some diners. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very small and cold, with issues like mold on the door and picture in the bathroom. Changing to a ground-level room upon request was a hassle due to stairs. However, the staff were attentive and efficient. Some dining struggles were evident, with limited menu options. The location was impressive but had a few drawbacks. The facilities were decent, though improvements could be made.
