My stay at the hotel was just fantastic! The rooms were super comfortable, quiet, and clean, feeling more like a mini suite with a separate lounge and desk area. The stylish decor and quiet atmosphere truly made it a special experience. The large dining room with paintings and a glass roof feature added a unique touch to the ambiance. However, the service left a lot to be desired at times.

I couldn't have asked for a better view of the mountains from my room, which was perfect for a quiet breakfast. The hotel provides a beautiful view and a cozy atmosphere, but it might not be spacious enough for larger groups to dine comfortably.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, with a great bathroom, bathrobes, and slippers. However, the lack of air circulation made the room very warm.

When I arrived, there was a bit of a smell in the room, but it quickly dissipated after opening the windows. The room itself was huge and spotless, with charming wall tiles depicting old railway posters. It had everything I needed, from a Pod coffee maker to thoughtful extras like toothbrushes and shavers.
