Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The photographs included in this properties listing suggest that there are loads of food and other facilities in the venue when in fact they’re in neighbouring properties owned by the same hotel group a few streets away While I appreciate that this is classed as a ‘historical’ hotel i assumed this would mean reasonably contemporary fittings in the bathrooms and new beds etc. To be clear this is an old property with basic 90s bathroom fitouts and no dining options. Felt like an older ski lodge or something. Was booked for two nights but the bed was so soft and unsupported I woke up with a backache and checked out early the first morning. No flexibility from the staff at all for even a partial refund for the second night.

Cute place, okay staff

Really cute place. Staff could be a little softer in their customer service, I called up to check what time the sauna hours were and I was put on hold for three minutes - after coming off hold I asked the question and had a one word answer. No follow up of reopening times. Otherwise it’s a really cute place and nice area to unwind

Enjoyed the stay - room was quiet and the beds were comfortable. The hotel was built so that the front and back look identical. The hotel guest parking is at the back. If you see a sign for a spa, you are at the rear of the hotel.
