My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, although they could be cleaner as I found some stains on the carpet and even a few in the bathroom. Overall, the stay was comfortable, very spacious with plenty of power points. The service was a bit mixed, with some staff being very helpful and friendly, while others seemed disinterested. The location was really quiet and perfect for relaxation, with a sports center nearby and beautiful walks to explore. The dining experience was good, with lots to choose from, but maybe the rooms could be cleaned better. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel offers super comfortable rooms, but the cleanliness could be improved, especially with the carpets. The service, though helpful, can get a bit disorganised during breakfast. The location is peaceful, surrounded by woodland for nice walks. The dining experience is exceptional but may require staff prompting at times.

Upon arriving, the room was freezing cold as it was on the edge of the building, but the air conditioning quickly warmed it up. The rooms were basic with average amenities, and there was a shortage of toilet paper. The location, though a bit far from the city center, offered a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Dining was ordinary with limited options for vegetarians or vegans. Overall, a decent stay but with some minor inconveniences.

The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. While the location was slightly far from the city center, the tranquil surroundings and accessibility to public transport made up for it.

The hotel had a very attractive room, although the bedding had a dirty mark on it. Throughout the night, the same standard and size of the room remained consistent. The service was lovely and friendly, with staff on top of things and creating a nice relaxed atmosphere, especially when accommodating room changes for different views. The location was a bit further from the center than expected but ideal for a quiet, peaceful stay, although it required pulling two-seater tables together. The dining experience was abundant with plenty of choices including fresh fruit and cooked breakfast, although lacking variation and value for a vegetarian. The facilities were sufficient with some room for improvement.

The hotel is located in a pleasant woodland campus with a good bus service to the city center. The rooms were a bit warm and could be cleaner, but the staff provided excellent service.
