relaxing getaway
efficient staff rainfall shower breakfast price maintained grounds
The staff was friendly and efficient. our double room included two separate sinks and a rainfall shower, very nice. breakfast prepay at the desk was cheaper than the dining room price. It saves a few euros. the surrounding grounds were also well maintained and interesting.
The double bed was a bit small. It felt more like a single.

an ok stay, nothing to write home about
outdated room excessive noise
the location was ok. the gardens exist, so that's something.
the room felt pretty outdated, i'm pretty sure my grandma had the same carpet. plus, the noise! i heard everything the neighbors were saying, and i mean everything. and dont even get me started on the breakfast, lets just say i've had better at a roadside diner.
