Staff was nice, breakfast was quite good! My room had a bit of a mildew/moldy smell, my colleagues reported the same so I didn't ask for a different room.

Great choice!
The room and all spaces I passed by were very clean. I liked the idea of not wasting water and not changing towels so often. The spa was amazing. It was a very relaxing stay. The hotel has a luxurious feel, like more than 3 stars. I definitely recommend people to go above all for the spa. It is totally worth it. And have breakfast at the hotel. So many tasty choices.

Worn down hotel with awful dinner buffet.
The service was ok, and the room was also ok. Quite comfortable beds.
One can tell it used to be a grand hotel, but sadly no more. It is now quite bad worn down and badly maintained. Outside the green areas have grown weed, the boule fields are completely overgrown, as the playground, and the parking lot has a lot of dried debris from the trees.
But what makes me put only one star in my rating = very bad, is the food. I've had some really bad buffets in my day, but this one takes the prize. It must be some kind of joke. Burnt noodels in soy sauce, dry fish, macaroni with a poorly executed meat sauce, minced meat patties that was rock hard and poorly seasoned. To top this the salad buffet, apart from some ruccola leaves, only consisted of pickled vegetables withe a dead fly floating around. Pretty discusting.
The breakfast however was really decent.

Fatal, la habitacion olia a humedad, el parquet estava hinchado como si se huviera inundado la habitacion en algun momento y en mal estado, igual que la puerta del baño que no cerrava.
La terraza disponia de un jakuzzi privado, la parte de la terraza da a la calle asi que nos podia ver cualquiera que pasara por alli, ademas unos clientes del hotel se pusieron a hacer fotografias al hotel y a nuestra terraza, 0 privacidad.
A la hora de la cena, aunque hemos reservado con antelacio, no nos tenian apuntados. Cuando ya teniamos la mesa, no nos pusieron la lamparita que tenian todos los otros comensales, es un detalle pequeño pero nos hubiera gustado que la tuvieramos tambien porque la mesa de al lado nuestro que vino mas tarde si que la tenia. Ademas pedimos pan y no nos lo han traido. Un poco decepcionante.
El Spa lleno de gente, no se podia relajar nadie.
En el desayuno no nos recibio nadie, estuvimos un rato esperando hasta que nos marcamos nosotros mismos la habitacion en la hoja de clientes.
No volveremos sin duda.

Para ser un balneario el estado de la zona termal está bastante deteriorada y escasa además de que creo que debería estar incluido en la estancia el acceso con horario a la misma, también deberían controlar la entrada de menores en las saunas, las duchas de agua fría herían de agua a temperatura ambiente, por lo demás todo bien, personal, restaurante, piscina exterior, etc.

Ziet er mooi uit aan de buitenkant. Binnen vergane glorie. Het was schoon, personeel was netjes. Maar voelde aan als de glorietijd van de 60er jaren. Douche duurde 5 minuten om op te warmen...

El edredón era de verano, he pasado un poco de frío hacia la.madrugada. El aire de aireacondicionado no corespondía con la temperatura deseada. La sauna no funcionaba a las 10 cuando entramos al spa.

No esperes a Halloween para tener un día terrible. Este es tu hotel. Habitación mini con un baño minúsculo. Desde las 6:30 de la mañana ruido de camiones y pi pi del toro mecánico para transportar el agua de la fábrica. Circuito termal con corriente de frío en una de las piscinas, para poner a prueba el sistema inmunitario. Eso sí por el módico precio de 300 euros.

Que se tenga que pagar por entrar a las aguas el precio es caro, y solo 50 minutos, un desmadre a la hora de la cena 2 horas para servir, por lo demás el sitio me encantó es encantador y muy tranquilo.
