    While the staff was amazing, we had an ongoing issue of a faulty lock to our rooom. Every time we left our room and attempted to re-enter we couldn't get in. The staff changed the battery 3 times without success. My husband ended up being late for his golf outing because he couldn't get back in the room. Nothing was done to acknowledge the situation.

    Nice location, beautiful building with nice atmosphere, friendly staff

    rather expensive versus what you are getting (can not be considered a 5 star hotel) no power outlets in the bathroom, terras was facing big airco's (misrepresented on the pictures); boring breakfast (no buffet, you can pick 5 items from a menu, which is the same every day). The last day I was offered a toast salmon with a rotten piece in it. When confronted with this, I was simply asked if I wanted anything else without any proper apology or explanation. As a final cherry on top they charged us for minibar usage double after we already checked out

    Breakfast choices were great and food was first quality - prepared well. The staff was outstanding !! It was our grandson’s 9th birthday - Lieke, Valentina, Caterina in the Front Office arranged for balloons and towel art (an elephant and birthday cake sculpted out of towels) - amazing. We appreciated their attention, politeness, and hospitality so much that we sent them a box of candy as a thank you after check out.

    Lights were a bit dim, but we understand re energy efficiency.
