Large room, thanks to comfort booking. Unfortunately the shower doesn't have a door, so the water runs out. The room is very warm.The breakfast is overpriced at €18/person. Although breakfast times last until 10:30 a.m., breakfast is already very lean at 9 a.m.Despite booking the late check-out (€30 extra), my husband couldn't get into the room at 2:30 p.m. Unfortunately, the service staff didn't manage to fix this error, so my husband received a card from cleaning to get back to the room.Overall, we would have expected more at €190 with breakfast.

We stayed there for 1 night in August. Instead of the standard room, we were given a comfort room free of charge. The staff is attentive and very friendly and helpful. Cleanliness and facilities are excellent. We didn't have breakfast, although the buffet was generous and very good. Lactose and gluten free food were available. Since we hardly eat breakfast in the morning, the price of €20 for the weekend was a bit too much for us. Perfect for brunch. As I said, we hardly eat breakfast. All in all it's a great hotel, we will come back!

Chic hotel right next to the castle. Clean, public and spacious rooms, free water. Unfortunately, the check-in machine was a bit tricky, so it is advisable to check in during reception opening hours.
