The hotel had a lovely ambiance, nestled in a rural natural park area that offers a peaceful retreat. While the rooms were reasonably clean and well-appointed, they did feel a bit outdated and were somewhat noisy at night. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, but I experienced a minor hiccup with the front desk staff. Dining had its highs and lows, with a decent variety, though the coffee could have been better. Overall, it felt like good value for money considering the location.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is beautiful, nestled in the woods, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the rooms definitely need some updating, as they appeared a bit worn and not very clean. The dining options were decent, but not extraordinary, which left something to be desired.

The rooms looked like they could use a refresh, with dirty walls, rusted AC, and stained carpet. They were somewhat clean and had basic amenities like a small fridge and TV.

The hotel is in a gorgeous location in the hills north of the city and surrounded by nature, but it's necessary to have a car as there's no public transport available.

The dining options were fresh and tasty, and the price for the breakfast was quite reasonable at €5 a day, which isn't bad.

Facilities are decent, but nothing overly luxurious. They do offer some basic amenities that are satisfactory but don't expect anything fancy.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, located in a peaceful forest setting, which provided a nice escape from the hustle and bustle. The rooms were clean and adequately appointed, and the service was superb, especially from Maria, who was incredibly helpful. However, I did have some issues with the wild dogs in the area, which detracted from my overall experience. The value for money was decent, but there's definitely room for improvement.

While the hotel is beautifully situated in the woods away from city noise, it's a bit isolated, and I felt that having a car is essential as there's no public transportation available nearby.

I had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the rooms were quite comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the dining options left much to be desired and could really use some improvement. The location was peaceful, surrounded by nature, which I appreciated, but a few areas in the outdoor space seemed neglected. Overall, it's a decent place, especially if you're looking for comfort with a natural setting, but keep your expectations in check regarding the dining.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The location is beautiful, nestled in the woods, but getting around requires a car since public transportation isn't available. The rooms are in urgent need of a facelift, unfortunately, as they felt more like a budget option. On the bright side, the service was very polite, and the dining experience had some tasty offerings, even if the breakfast could have been better.
