Fabulous location away from the noise and crowds, very historic and great views from the hotel restaurant. In the summer, the private entrance to the castle gardens must be a highlight! Just a couple of weird points.. The most intense check-in I’ve had into a hotel, with alternating greeting staff and offering a 5-minute beer, offering a wet towel yet straight away asking for passports which I imagine no one wants to get their passports wet. I was a bit let down as a local I could only check-in in English as there was no local staff. Asked for eating and café tips and only got sent to the biggest tourist traps, so some insider knowledge would be nice to upskill the staff with. The bathroom products in the hotel are not local, an oversight for such as upmarket hotel right under the castle. No shower gel, only shampoo, the body lotion is way too thin for skin in winter months. We couldn’t work out how to switch off the bedside table radio, or the bathroom light, so if providing gadgets, perhaps some instruction manuals would have helped. The hotel offers free coffee, however only capsules. The staff left a cake on my bedside table whilst we were out, however with the late arrival into the room I kept knocking into the spoon+plate in the middle of the night. At breakfast, they kept offering soup (??), wine and sparkling wine (?), and juice several times, I felt a little like they were focused on the upsell. Overall, they’ve got the location and the premises, just let down on the final touches/sophistication of staff.
