Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a unique experience, given its fantastic location in a medieval castle with breathtaking views. The rooms had their quirks, with some being quite dark, but overall they were decent. The service left a bit to be desired, feeling a bit unenthusiastic at times. Dining was on the pricey side, but the portions were generous, and the view while dining added to the charm. Overall, it’s a worthwhile visit, especially for history buffs.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the charming character of the place and its friendly staff were high points, the heat in the room made it tough to sleep comfortably. The location is fantastic with amazing views, but the room size could have been larger for the price I paid.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location was absolutely fantastic, providing great views and a unique atmosphere, but the rooms could have been a bit more spacious and the A/C wasn't working properly. The staff was friendly overall, but I did encounter a few who seemed less motivated. Dining was on the pricier side but had some generous portions. Still, I found some aspects of my stay a bit lacking, especially regarding the comforts I expected.
I had a great time at this hotel, especially enjoying the spectacular view from my room and the spacious balcony. The location is absolutely stunning, set high up with historical landmarks around, but the service could use some improvement as it felt a bit unmotivated at times. Overall, it was a good experience with decent value for money, though I was a bit disappointed with the air conditioning not working in my room.
The hotel is situated in a fantastic location, perched on a hill with breathtaking views, making it feel like a medieval escape. The rooms are lovely but not as spacious as I hoped. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, but some seemed a bit unmotivated. Dining in the restaurant was on the pricier side, though the panoramic view certainly made up for it. Overall, it's a unique place with a charming atmosphere, but there are some areas that could use improvement.
