In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Dining and service ratings are lower — While rooms and location score well, dining and price/service both rate 7 out of 10, suggesting the restaurant and overall value may not meet the same standard.
  • Check-in ends at 23:30 — If you arrive late, you'll need to plan ahead since the check-in window closes at 23:30.
  • Some rooms have limited views — Standard rooms and some superior rooms may not have the castle or city views that others enjoy; those with courtyard views face an atrium.
