Breakfast needs attention

Breakfast was a bit shambolic. Scrambled egg, bacon, mushrooms and sausage for a cooked option is lacking somewhat. Even with such little hot selection it was rarely replenished meaning a wait. When the hotel is full, they'll never cope with thr size of the kitchen and the restaurant. That was the only disappointing thinking. Other than that, a faultless stay.

O melhor hotel que me hospedei nos últimos tempos. Hotel novo, uma antigo palacete restaurado. Quarto: - produtos Rituals no wc - decoração magnífica - colchão e almofadas confortáveis - separação de lixo (sustentabilidade) Pequeno almoço: - produtos sem gluten e lactose - variedade de alimentos saudáveis - simpatia funcionários Spa: - piscina com temperatura da água ideal - bom turco e sauna Ginásio: - super completo, com máquinas novas e bastante material Único ponto negativo: - estacionamento do hotel pago (10€), mas existem muitos lugares nas ruas exteriores ao hotel.
