A true five star experience
A truly 5-star experience. The hotel staff is exceptional, with the ability to make you feel welcome whether this is your first time visitor or a returning guest. We found that the best thing to do was to go with the flow of the place and let it delight us, and it was worth it. A few pointers to other guests. The rooms are lovely and spacious, if a bit overwhelmingly baroque. The building is old but well-maintained. Exquisite. At times it feels like you’re in a museum. It’s worth upgrading to a lake view room. If you want a break from the baroque, head over to the spa which is modern as it gets. The indoor and outdoor pools are lovely, the views are stunning. The complimentary spa offer is perfect but if you want to experience the treatments go ahead. We found some of them a little bit gimmicky but pleasant (we tried the Pathway to Heaven, a 2-hour couple’s experience which in hindsight was not the best thing to do but it was ok). All in all, we met several other guests who keep returning to the hotel time and again, over many years. We can see why, and we ourselves are booking a return trip for next year.

Bed bug bites!!!!
Be careful **** multiple bites, still healing a week after trip. Spoke with other guests who informed us that it was bed bugs as they had an issue as well and saw them in bed. Check in was problematic as they didn’t seem to have the room on booking. Did not seem to be well run hotel. Very old clientele. Thought we might have gone to an assisted living facility by accident. Staff service in breakfast area was almost nonexistent. Could not get hot water for tea. Staff busy cleaning tables, but not serving clients. Could not remember to bring milk, or eggs or anything else requested. Happened each day. Requested boiled eggs before leaving to airport to eat later and upon going to eat them later found they were barely cooked and runny. Overall not what you expect. They have a view (depending on the room), they have an old hotel, but this is not 5 stars.
