Room needs kettle and tea/coffee. Bed wasn’t too bad, but pillows were not comfortable. Breakfast was buffet with hot and cold choices. Staff were very friendly. Swimming pool is heated and hot tub a welcome break! Two free car parks at front and rear of hotel.

Just okay

Staff was very nice. Very basic accommodation- no AC, dark, small room, food ok, but expensive for what it is. Nice pool, lukewarm hot tub, good shower pressure. Bed is super uncomfortable, hard, springy. There may be better rooms in the updated building, but I don’t know.

Very nice smaller hotel with good facilities. Pool and Jacuzzi are very nice. Sauna costs extra, which is not indicated at the time of the reservation, but worth it. Room included an excellent continental breakfast and dinner was also very good. Would definitely recommend. December is low season and it was quiet.

Nice location in the mountains, great starting point. Value for money is very good, the room was comfortable. There is a newly renovated pool area with jacuzzi and sauna which was nicer than in some 5 star hotels. The breakfast was ok for a few days, it’s nothing special. Staff very friendly. When you’re looking for an affordable place to stay for a few days, this is the place for you.

Beautiful looking property but RED flags appeared immediately upon arrival. Wifi was broken on first day. Hot tub is not hot. You have to pay extra for sauna. Have to leave a deposit for pool towel. Bed is uncomfortable. Extremely hard. First morning breakfast, automatic coffee machine was broken but they wouldn’t provide coffee using the $5k machine at the bar. Threaten to charge people who take an extra piece of fruit with Them when they leave breakfast buffet. These signs are disappointing. Never experienced this before at any hotel with this star rating.

A beautiful location. Ideal for relaxation.

Maybe there could be coffee facilities in the room. Possibly a small fridge in the room. The breakfast/ dining room is a little crowded
