"I am always objective with my reviews, and so, accounting for the presumably very low season price, I will give a 4/5, however, I should first note, that the main reception staff (aside from the younger man) were generally miserable and unfriendly the entire time (and I stayed 10 days having extended by a further 5 to focus on some online administration). I would have been inclined to perhaps give 5/5 had they been polite and helpful, however, they would never smile, and would respond and approach you as if you were a burden to them, living as an uninvited guest in their own personal home...this is who it felt for the entire duration of my stay.
Aside from the aforementioned issues regarding etiquette; for the price paid, the economy room was good. The WiFi was strangely terrible though and basically didn't work almost the entire time (though this may just be the corner economy rooms), and the shower basin was completely blocked most of the time too. Additionally, the heating wasn't really functioning (in the middle of winter), so the room would be too cold for most, however, I did like the room regardless. The bedroom area is on a mezzanine accessed via very steep stairs, and although totally unsuitable for most and very dangerous indeed, it felt very cosy nonetheless and private, and the ensuite, irrespective of the drainage issue was sufficient and new and there always seemed to be hot water. The room contained a clothes rail, sofa, side table and TV. Housekeeping was off"
"Lovely stay, attention to details in the rooms which include a Nespresso machine and pods and everything you need to make the experience enjoyable. Breakfast basket was delicious. Highly recommend"
"We had an extremely disappointing experience at this property, despite its beautiful setting and comfortable rooms.
I had prepaid for our stay through Hotels.com, yet upon arrival, the front desk charged me again for the full amount. What followed was a week-long ordeal trying to recover my money. It took two full days just to reach someone in their accounting department, and when I finally did, they initially claimed they hadn’t received any payment. Only after further insistence did they acknowledge the Hotels.com transaction.
Over the past several days, I have had to call the hotel more than 15 times, each time getting vague or conflicting information, with no resolution. The lack of accountability and communication from management has been deeply frustrating and entirely unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber.
It’s unfortunate because the property itself is stunning, and the rooms and food were excellent, but no level of comfort can make up for the disorganization, poor customer service, and financial mishandling I experienced here. Until this issue is resolved, I cannot in good conscience recommend this hotel to anyone.
