Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful experience at the hotel, with its idyllic views and contemporary style. The room had a bath and a view, which was truly relaxing. However, the meals were a bit pricey, and I missed out on dining at the Castle's exclusive restaurant.
The hotel offers rooms with wonderful views and a king bed with a bathroom attached. The staff could be more accommodating but made our stay enjoyable. The location is great for exploring the nearby areas, although dining options were limited. Overall, a decent choice for a relaxing getaway.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were lovely with working heating and wonderful views, but I had to settle for a couch sofa bed instead of a proper bed, which was a bit uncomfortable. The service was a bit hit and miss, with a staff member initially stopping us from entering and making us wait outside while checking our reservation. However, the location in the Cong area was fantastic, making it easy to explore the castle and surrounding areas. The dining experience had some unique touches but at high prices. Overall, it was a decent stay with some ups and downs.
