The property is somewhat dated but the staff is excellent. We had some trouble with over generous comforters! The featherbed on top of the mattress made the sleeping experience much too soft and very, very hot!

Exceptionally nice property. Great staff, nice rooms. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The breakfast buffet was pricey, but it did deliver on quality and variety. And of course a fantastic location and the place is quiet, which we liked.

Fabulous hotel staff and the restaurants are great. The rooms looked great and had a beautiful canal view. When we first got to our room we found a used hair comb by the bed and the bathroom smelt foul. We ran the shower and the smell went away for a short period. It came back through the night and was very unpleasant. The staff said they’d look into it but I’m assuming nothing could be done. Other than the smelly bathroom it’s a splendid location.

Been to some amazing hotels around the world, the staff and rooms of this place was pretty amazing. We now have turned this place into a yearly stop for us. Glad we didn’t stay anywhere else. They made my wife’s 40th so magical. Only thing I wish I had the ability to do is tip the staff as a group, especially the staff that made our room up multiple times a day, I wanted to thank them all rather than trying to hunt them down individually.
