Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a bit out of the way but of a great standard, very friendly place with bottled water and cakes included. We felt it was a bit overpriced for what we got; we could have found a hotel with a hot tub in the room for the same amount.
The hotel offers stunning newly decorated rooms, complimentary water and soft drinks, and a great breakfast, though it requires updating. The service was mainly friendly and helpful, with a few lapses in responsiveness. The location is ideal for hydrotherapy and exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience was subpar and somewhat overpriced. Overall, a mixed but decent stay.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were not ideal due to issues like low water pressure and noise disturbances, but the location was picturesque and the service impeccable. Dining was a bit of a letdown, but the facilities were satisfactory.
