    However, the shower had only a very high tube without a curtain, so all the space at the end of the shower was full of water—so dangerous!! The hotel is a "faked castle," not an old one—a weird concept. Breakfast was disappointing. Although there was a wide selection, all the "warm dishes" were cold, and the tea and vegetables were not fresh.

    Our room was large, and the beds were comfortable.

    Some of the hotel's parts need to be renovated. I have been there five years ago and everything looks absoltely identical, perhaps it would be a good idea to think of some new thematic details.

    Our room was a masterpiece - very beautifully decorated, spacious, designed like a little journey in the Middle Ages. The breakfast was nice, the coffee delicious, the garden very pleasant. The concept of the hotel looking like a castle, is delightful for every lover of past epochs and fairy tales.

    A fairy tale place for anyone interested in a different type of hotel

    The bathroom feels like it does not really belong to the same style as the rest of the interior. While everything is done in this special castle-like interior, the bathroom feels a bit plain. It is clean and with the heated floor very nice, it is just design wise does not fit.

    It is an incredible place, feels like a real castle with the small details all around the hotel - the restaurant with the knights, the ornaments in the hallway and everything is designed to make you feel like you are in a fairy tale. The room was clean, the staff was very helpful, the spa was excellent and what I really liked was the restaurant in the hotel - both the dinner we tried a la carte as well as the breakfast were exceptional.

    There was mold in the bathroom, in the shower and in the shower gel tubes provided. There was also an awful sewage smell coming from the bathroom. We had to keep the door shut to the bathroom to prevent it from fully stinking up the bedroom.

    Breakfast was very good! Delicious and provided many options. I loved the location and the look of the hotel. I loved the terrace from our room, the views were stunning at sunset. Staff was pleasant and helpful.

    The worst thing is that the external pool was not working. The water in the big internal pool was cold for children and the children's pool was full of adults. They are letting people use just the SPA. This is an extremely bad practice. I am going there during the week for the sole purpose of not having to deal with a packed SPA and i have to because they are letting externals in. No Kids entertainment.

    The restaurant is exceptional.

    1.The massage service might have been cheaper than I use to pay in my country however that’s not an excuse for the experience me and my husband had. I’m pretty sure the guy who offered us the massage service just typed on YouTube “How to offer a massage” and then came to our appointment. We both chose to have a relaxing massage; however, it was not relaxing at all. I was feeling really uncomfortable all the time (don’t get me wrong, he did nothing inappropriate, it just was really bad), I was feeling pain in many spots and did not manage to relax for a minute. Also, the rest of the spa services were on the other side of the door and I had to listen to 3 couples laughing loud and watching videos on TikTok- not soundproof at all. 2. Another comment I have to make (but it did not bother me as much as the massage guy), is that water was running under the bathroom sink and under the bathtub after using them. As a result, you had to be careful for the next 1-1.30hour in order not to get your feet wet.

    We really enjoyed out stay there. It was a relaxing 3-day trip and I’m still sure we made the right decision. We loved our room. It was big but at the same time cozy. The round bed was comfortable. We also liked the pool – until a bunch of noisy people invaded and ruined the relaxing moment. Also, the running water in the bathroom did indeed smell but that’s the point of leaving next to thermal springs. My skin and hair were perfect! Last the options on the restaurant were pretty good and tasty.
