Joyce at the reception was an absolute treasure. She gave wonderful restaurant recommendations and suggested the most good bars. she also helped us navigate the tram system and provided useful maps, it made everything so easy. we received extra towels without even asking, just in time for our swims. It was a thoughtful touch. the whole reception team ensured we felt cared for.
the car park had some muddy spots, so i took extra care wheeling my suitcase.

The beautiful family room was really spacious. It was perfect for my family! i loved that the hotel has a swimming pool and saunas. parking was easy. There were a good number of spaces available, a huge plus for us!
Breakfast was pretty expensive. I seemed like it was a little limited for the price. the floors were cracking. It sounded like an old mansion, and it was quite disturbing, especially at night. the air conditioning wasn't great. The room stayed too warm all night unfortunately.
