the location was lovely and access to public transport was great. the hotel has faded grandeur, but i liked that! the spa was very relaxing and the staff were so helpful. i mostly ate in the bistro next door, though the buffet was nice too.

The room felt outdated and poorly maintained. There was dust on the tv cupboards.

tiny room unfixed lights

The staff proved helpful. Breakfast tasted great. I liked the thermal pools.

The room seemed tiny and styled with a dated, cheap design. Online photos exaggerate the room's appeal. Ceiling lights did not function in my room, and despite reporting this to the reception, they remained unfixed for two days until I left. I felt very inconvenienced.
