Really friendly, pleasant staff. Great place to stay when attending events.
Pros:

We had a beautiful room looking out on the river and the woods.

Cons:

The hotel is very big and it’s quite a walk to some of the rooms.

Great stay, value for money
Pros:

Staff were friendly, the room was basic and clean, bed was comfy. Had a meal during my stay, food was great and quick service!

Cons:

Not so much a big issue but the radiator from about 5am making loud noises for a few hours did wake us both mornings. Other than that, everything was great

More like 2/3*
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room we had was old and very dated. We could hear a huge fan outside the room. Food was just okay and swimming facilities were poor, changing rooms and towels were awful. This is all compared to other 4* hotels.

Nice stay but hotel is boiling.
Pros:

The food was nice and the rooms were very clean. The pool, sauna and steam room were super clean and nice. The staff were all very helpful and friendly which might seem like a small thing but it makes all the difference.

Cons:

The heat of the hotel was unbearable at times. This was concentrated in the hallways and the rooms. My room especially was baking everyday despite all windows open and a fan on constantly. The radiators were off and as there was no other way to control the heat in the rooms I did not bother any staff as there would have been little they can do.

We got dinner three nights and the food was fantastic and reasonably priced for hotels in 2026. What was not reasonable was charging €2.00 for miwadi in a jug, a bottle of miwadi isn't even €2. I genuinely was speechless when the waitress called it out. It gave me the bang of a real tacky cheap hotel and I has honestly skewed my view of this hotel. With the price of everything in the country at the moment it is an awful look.

Home from Home
Pros:

Everything. From the moment we walked through to the beautiful entrance to the clean smell everywhere. The staff were polite and attentive. I love that it has kept its old style charm but it is still a modern hotel through it's facilities. Great base for travelling around. Couldn't fault it in any way.

Cons:

Faultless.
