Amazing staff set the tone
The super friendly and professional staff set the tone of your stay at this hotel. They welcome you with open arms and deal with any issues you have immediately. They are so friendly that some guests have decided to return just because of the welcome they received.

Fairytale setting
If you want to know what it feels like to wake up in a princess' bedroom, then this might be the ideal place for you. Everything about the places is like something from a fairytale. From the swimming pool with its ornaments to the beds with drapes, it's truly magical.
positive:
Lovely home cooked meals

Not really five-star
This hotel is a nice place to visit and beautifully decorated, but many guests feel that the age of the rooms and amenities leaves it well short of a true five-star rating. Everything is starting to look a little dated and not in an elegant way but more like it has been overused.
negative:
Paper thin walls
The rooms may look beautiful but the fact that you can hear everything that is said by your neighbours takes the shine of the fairytale feeling. It's a little disappointing to have to wear earplugs just to get to sleep if your neighbours like to watch late night TV.
negative:
Too many weddings
Nuptials seem to be the main business at this hotel where it's not unusual to see two or three wedding parties a day. This bothers some guests who are staying here to relax but have to avoid large wedding parties throughout their stay.
