The staff were very helpful (i especially appreciated their promptness). The mini fridge was nice.
The large room i had was not heated. The amenities for a five-star hotel were terrible. I really expected more from a hotel of this supposed caliber, especially considering the price.

Really good Hotel Experience

central locationbeautiful groundsspacious roomodd shape
The hotel is centrally located, a short walk to the main square. The grounds are beautiful. My room was spacious. I stayed in the castle section, so the room had an odd shape (but it worked out well).
The room was not cleaned well. I found hairs from the previous guest. the room was noisy.

The breakfast buffet had many options. I noticed a station where you could carve your own belgium chocolate with a two-handled knife. There were fresh fruit options and waffles available (especially delicious).
