Wonderful stay—highly recommended! Upon arrival, the receptionists were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which set a great tone for our stay. The room was perfectly clean and came equipped with an espresso coffee machine, which was a lovely touch. We also really enjoyed the good breakfast. Although we didn't have time to use all the amenities the hotel has to offer, like the spa and the outdoor pool, we had a fantastic experience. We will definitely return if we are back in the area!

The staff was very kind, and the disabled room amenities were excellent. The food service was tasty, and the breakfast, and the Sunday lunch buffet were particularly good. My daughter enjoyed the indoor spa pool as well. The hotel is near AIMA, which was helpful for us.

Unfortunately, due to the weather we did not get to venture away from the hotel but the map shows it being close to points of interest. 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.

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.

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. Overall, leaving a little bit disappointed I think,

We stayed here for one night. 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. Enjoyed our stay.

Hotel stay was nice. 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.
