What guests report

View
Pool area has beautiful mountain views; some rooms (especially suites on upper floors) have garden/countryside views; ground-floor rooms may have limited views
Bed & mattress
Generally praised as comfortable and wygodne (comfortable), though some guests report mattresses too firm or old/lumpy in select rooms
Bathroom & water
Water pressure and temperature inconsistent and difficult to control; modern marble in some rooms but outdated fixtures in others; shower over bathtub setup rather than separate stall
Wi-Fi
Works only on ground floor and in restaurant; unreliable or absent in many rooms
Breakfast
Praised when fresh (Sunday breakfast exceptionally abundant); often disappointing mid-week with limited selection, cold items, stale bread from frozen dough, and understaffed service that results in empty tables by 10 AM
AC / heating
No air conditioning; portable fans and open windows provided but inadequate in summer heat; attic rooms notably hot; some guests report fans breaking down

Local knowledge

Request a room far from the restaurant/event areas if you're staying during a wedding or large event—noise carries significantly through this historic building.
Book the suite/attic rooms if you want views and quieter placement; standard rooms may have poor sound isolation.
Call ahead to confirm the spa is open before arrival; multiple guests found it closed during their stay.
