i loved the central location, close to many restaurants and attractions. the staff was genuinely friendly and eager to help, especially during breakfast service. our room had a cozy, romantic feel (perfect for our anniversary!) and a super comfy king bed.

The room was spacious. It came equipped with all necessary amenities. The breakfast offered a good variety of options. The location was also convenient with easy access to nearby attractions.
The gym was smaller than expected. It only had a limited selection of equipment. The pool area lacked sufficient seating. It was often crowded. I also experienced slow service at the front desk during peak hours.

My stay included an executive room. It faced the castle walls and featured a large bathroom with a great shower. I also appreciated the good WiFi, which allowed me to get some work done (it was quite convenient!).
I found the executive lounge basic. It was passable for a quick coffee or drink, but nothing more.
