The hotel itself is a beautiful building with a lovely spa, and picturesque grounds. The location is fantastic, just a one-minute walk from the port, making it ideal for exploring the area or enjoying the waterfront. We've stayed here for two consecutive years, but sadly, it's the staff and the breakfast experience that have let us down both times.||In our first year, we noticed a dead bird in the courtyard and reported it to reception. Despite reminding the reception staff multiple times, nothing was done, and guests continued to have to step over it. This lack of attention to detail was disappointing, but we decided to give the hotel another chance.||This year, we booked the Grand Suite (Room 508)—the most expensive room in the hotel. The room itself was wonderful, with its own lift into the room, spacious, and beautifully appointed. However, our breakfast experience soured the entire stay. Every morning, we were greeted by Lena, the rudest maître d’ I’ve ever encountered. She insisted on squeezing five of us around a table meant for four, despite there being empty larger tables available. Her dismissive attitude continued throughout our stay, and despite bringing the issue up with Lena herself and reception multiple times, nothing was done. At one point Lena muttered "Pathetic" under her breath.||The level of customer service is shocking. Even after sending emails and speaking to reception directly, Lena’s rude behaviour at breakfast persisted. To make matters worse, simple things like asking for items to be restocked at breakfast were constantly met with reluctance or ignored.||After this experience, we cancelled our booking for 2025. ||Instead of asking why, the hotel simply acknowledged our cancellation without any concern or follow-up. This lack of care for their guests speaks volumes.||It's a shame that such a beautiful hotel with so much potential is let down by poor service and staff who don't seem to care about their guests. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.
