I found the staff at reception very helpful. The hotel restaurant provided delicious food and reasonable prices.

The AIR conditioning and the mini-fridge made noise. The shower was quite poor. The drain often clogged.

I really admired the rooftop pool. It featured plenty of sunbeds and tables, including chairs. they also provided pool towels. the space felt large, with lovely views of the mountains and the castle. breakfast also had the most variety i have seen while traveling. The food in the restaurant for dinner was very good.

the room was a bit dated. it did not match the overall style of the hotel. curtains were partially detached from the ceiling. the air conditioning controls were hidden behind the tv.
