Super awesome stay. Very cool hotel. Very unique and so close to all the things you want to do but amazing calm and quietness. Just what I needed. Elevators and whole property is so well thought through. Twilight zone.

2/10 Poor

Eh, hidden fees, it’s a spa to relax and the staff constantly is looking to sell you something or up charge for something. Nice people, facilities were sub par, modern look is easy to make look simple but needs more character too it and especially ordering or services to shuttle without charging you inconsistent rates that always changed per staff mmember

4/10 Fair

I provided feedback directly to the hotel who requested feedback via WhatsApp, however, no-one has responded despite having read the message, which again demonstrates poor customer service. We paid around £760 for 2 nights and were so excited to stay here, however, the poor and inconsistent customer service ruined our stay. Unfortunately our short 2 night stay was spoilt on our first day when we asked for a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine as other hotels in the area have happily provided one but were ignored initially and then informed we would be charged €25. Our dinner was also a disappointing experience as we were went for the tasting menu and Sommelier Wine pairing and have had amazing tastings & pairings in other restaurants but the food and wine pairings were very disappointing and the wine often mis-timed so we were waiting whilst our food was getting cold. We did provide feedback at the time time but felt it did not go down well and we were left waiting to settle our bill. The following day we tried to request room service, but our calls and WhatsApp messages were not responded to. We were, however, sent up a bottle of wine as an apology later in the afternoon but it did not really compensate for our disappointing visit. I am also disappointed that we have not had a response to our feedback directly from the hotel.

Very good.
Super hotel with lovely views of the river. Good food in the restaurant and grill. Comfortable with a very good spa. Only one small gripe: we had to ask for items to be replenished at breakfast.

Peace
This stay was amazing! This hotel is very peaceful and the staff are kind and helpful. The only thing I would say is I tkoghht the wine tasting was complimentary but it wasn’t it was 45EUR per person, it may have been my misunderstanding. Apart from this cannot fault this place. The restaurant was really good, definitely a Michelin star.

Beautiful setting. Food was very good. Wish the hotel directory was in the room rather than by QR code as it didn’t download well and wasn’t user friendly.
