Peu mieux faire
Pros:

La chambre était conforme bien que plus petite que les 30m2 annoncés : la literie était très confortable et l’air conditionné marchait très bien et silencieux
Belle vue sur le château

Cons:

La salle du petit déjeuner était affreusement bruyante , le personnel bruyant et peu attentionné ! On se serait cru dans un réfectoire ou une cantine ! Le choix du buffet est correct sans plus !! Vraiment pas d’un niveau d’un 5 étoiles !
Le restaurant Michelin 1* était vraiment moyen : très très peu dans l’assiette et que 2 desserts au choix (un déjà épuisé à 21h)
Bref : pour le prix de la chambre , tout de même FRS 780.- par nuit , on s’attend à bien bien mieux

فندق جميل و خدمة اكثر من رائعة.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax after a long day. Everything was well maintained, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.

Room was very disappointing.
Pros:

Building is beautiful.

Cons:

Air conditioning wasn't working properly and only a fan was offered.
I booked a deluxe room at £549 and got a tiny room and a terrible view - room 311.
Not a great experience.

Nice but not as pleasant as it could have been, not good value for money.
Pros:

The location was brilliant, the building was beautiful.

Cons:

The room was small for the cost per night,
it was noisy in the mornings too as there was building work outside.
