Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were adequately comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. Another highlight was the freshly made breakfast coffee at the bar. The atmosphere was clean and quiet; however, the room view overlooked the main courtyard, which would have been better if the shutters could be opened.
The hotel has magnificent furniture and paintings in the rooms, but the service could be more attentive. The location is easily accessible by car, although a bit far from the town. The dining mainly consists of sweets with limited substantial food. The facilities are adequate but not exceptional.
The hotel rooms were great, very clean, with nice decor, and the friendly staff made our stay pleasant. However, the view facing a deposit of ghastly industrial buildings was not ideal, and the somewhat industrial location was not very pretty. Despite that, I felt safe and enjoyed the off-street parking. The dining experience was affected by the high amount of sweets and the scarcity of other items, which could have been improved. Overall, the facilities were good and the location, although not central, offered easy parking and a pleasant environment.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with really comfy beds, providing a quiet and restful environment. However, the lack of small essentials like a water boiler and body lotion was noticeable. The service provided by the friendly staff was excellent, but there were moments of distraction. The location, while comfortable for cooling off, was somewhat run down and industrial. The dining experience offered overwhelming food options, but with some key items missing. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and quiet, but the noise from the nearby railway line was a downside. The service was extremely nice and helpful, but at times seemed overwhelmed. The location was convenient for sailing enthusiasts but a bit far from the town center. The dining offered a good range of sweet options but lacked variety.
