relaxing getaway
efficient staffrainfall showerbreakfast pricemaintained 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.

ok locationoutdated roomexcessive 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the room felt pretty outdated, i'm pretty sure my grandma had the same carpet.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.
