Pros:

It was a lovely clean room, a beatiful location, and great breakfast. The breakfast was very good.

Cons:

It was not clear to me when booking that there would be no dinner available on a Monday night, which left me stranded with no food options since I had no car. It would have been nice if this was made clearer. It was very difficult to find a taxi from Tiel, and the staff were not able to call a taxi for me when I was leaving to go back, which i would expect in a hotel. They gave me a card of a driver but did not call for me, which would have been a nice touch, since pronouncing Dutch place names over the phone is fairly difficult.

Prima overnachting als je een bruiloft in het kasteel hebt
Pros:

Prachtig gelegen en prima ontbijt

Cons:

Erg kleine kamer voor de prijs die we betaalden, onduidelijk beleid over early check-in. Wij moesten extra betalen terwijl andere gasten op dezelfde tijd en eerder hun sleutel kregen zonder bijbetaling.

De manier van de kamer openen met je telefoon vond ik hoogst onprettig en mijn batterij was leeg.
Pros:

Het ontbijt was afgepast en je moest vragen om meer en je kon niet kiezen.

Cons:

De lamer was wel erg krap. Vooral met 2 personen.

De nieuwe digitale wereld in een Hotel
Pros:

Het terras. En de begeleiding van een virtuele assistent die snel reageerde.

Cons:

Geen lift en kamer met bovenin 2 kleine raampjes die een benauwd gevoel gaven alsof je in een bunker verbleef. Wel handig gebruik gemaakt van de ruimte. Geen contact met personeel, bijna alles werd digitaal geregeld. Onpersoonlijk.
