Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the beautiful location by the river and the helpful staff. However, many were disappointed with the service quality, particularly regarding the spa facilities which were often unavailable. Cleanliness was also a concern for several guests, with reports of uncollected dishes and a lack of attention to detail in room maintenance.
