Everything about this hotel was excellent. We were there for my wife's birthday and the staff laid the perfect table with champagne as requested.

Gladys, United States of America

Adriaan, United States of America

Good range of things on the buffet, but can't say they were particularly great. Eggs were a bit rubbery. Still, nice having the choices.

Anonymous, United States of America

A good hotel with an excellent location. It is only a 5 minute walk along the canal to the centre of Aviero. The location is quiet and has secure parking. The facilities are excellent and include a heated pool and spa. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Gregory, Australia

The hotel atmosphere is very nice; since it appears to be relatively new, it has beautiful bright spaces in the common areas; In room accommodation was also nice, clean and had the necessary amenities. Wifi included which is great. Free parking also available across the street.

The staff at the reception was helpful and friendly. There was good parking which was easy to acces and safe. The view from the room was good and it was a nice little walk along the canal to get to the shopping mall and the city centre.

Although the space around the property has been nicely maintained, it is a bit out of the way of the city centre; I did read somewhere that it was about a 10 minute walk to the centre however one suggestion I have is that there should be more prominent walking directions to the city centre, perhaps highlighted on arrival or on a quick reference sheet that guests could pick up if they wish.
The hotel atmosphere is very nice; since it appears to be relatively new, it has beautiful bright spaces in the common areas; In room accommodation was also nice, clean and had the necessary amenities. Wifi included which is great. Free parking also available across the street.

The breakfast was really bad: dry bread, canned or unripe fruit, one läbberi cheese option ... Also we didn‘t get notified that the spa will be closed on one day of our stay. This was disappointing. The bathroom had the ugliest sink ever and we found quite some traces (hair in the shower and spots) of the previous guests.
The staff at the reception was helpful and friendly. There was good parking which was easy to acces and safe. The view from the room was good and it was a nice little walk along the canal to get to the shopping mall and the city centre.
