good pastriesunclean bathroomfluctuating temperature
The breakfast was good (i especially liked the pastries).
The room i booked was not as clean as i expected. There was some hair in the bathroom when i arrived, and the floor didn't seem thoroughly vacuumed. I also had issues with the shower temperature, it fluctuated a lot and made it hard to shower.

The location of the hotel is scenic. The room was large. Breakfast offered a wide selection of food.
The hotel charges extra to book a swim slot each day. This cost is hidden in the small print. The shower had mold. The taps and showerhead had limescale.

Balanced Stay Experience

beautiful settingfriendly stafflake viewlack air conditioningblunt receptionmould floor
The location had a beautiful setting. The staff were friendly. I checked into a lovely room overlooking the lake. The room was modern and it had everything I needed.
There wasn't air conditioning in the room, only a Dyson fan. This made the room stuffy with the hot weather. The reception seemed blunt with our group reservation. The steam room floor was covered in mould.
