Mooie locatie maar verouderde, gehorige kamers. Ontbijt was goed.
Pros:

Aardige receptionist bij inchecken.

Cons:

Kamer was niet voldoende schoon. Veel last van andere gasten die over de gang liepen na middernacht. Bij ontbijt geen ontvangst of personeel beschikbaar. Zelf zoeken naar de borden. Wel netjes ingedekte tafels en het ontbijt zelf was goed.

Pros:

Goede ligging.

Cons:

De foto’s van het kasteel op de site zijn nogal prominent aanwezig en geven de indruk dat het hotel zich in het kasteel bevindt. Dat is dus niet het geval; het is in een bijgebouw

Heerlijk voor een weekendje of nachtje weg
Pros:

Een fijn hotel op een bijzondere locatie. Goede bedden, goede douche. Gelukkig geen centraal ventilatie systeem maar gewoon een cv.

Cons:

Wel wat luid gerommel in de ochtend vanwege vermoedelijk een leverancier, aan de achterkant.
