enchanting castle escape
furnished space quality toiletries turn-down service relaxed atmosphere
i had a good two-night stay, nice. i was in castle room 7 (a lift is available), a large and beautifully furnished space. the walk-in shower had a rain head. good pressure and quality toiletries. the turn-down service included milk and dark chocolates. the calm and well-proportioned public rooms offered a relaxed, grown-up atmosphere.
the castle rooms do not have mini fridges (newer block rooms do) which was a slight inconvenience .

the staff were cute, and the level of service seemed quite high. i found the food delicious. it was a wonderful start to my vacation in a beautiful country.
i arrived at the hotel, looking forward to staying in the castle. however, i was given a room in a new wing next to the castle.. this was not what i expected. the location is also a bit far from the city center.
