The property is good for a business trip, but not so convenient and easy for a family trip with a toddler. Nothing wrong with the place, just didn’t work as well as we wanted for our needs.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was mostly nice and clean, but some staining on the carpets. Staff were really friendly and attentive. We booked a castle view room, which was way more expensive than other rooms, and barely had a view of the castle. We could mostly see the building across the road. Really not worth the extra money and a big disappointment given such a difference in price. I’d stay here again but wouldn’t spend the extra for this type of room again.
