The parking is across the road from the hotel. On arrival there was a sign in reception saying we are taking a break so wait until we return. The receptionist appeared in a couple of minutes and was very helpful, and subsequently we saw there was usually someone at reception so perhaps we were unlucky but it did not give the best first impression for a 4 star place. The hotel is nicely decorated. The room was average size, quiet, clean and comfortable but no fridge or tea/coffee making equipment, overall too expensive for what it was. The garden was pleasant though quite a bit of road noise. Dinner in the Culinarium restaurant was a bad experience. The food and wine was good but the delay and poor service were inexcusable. There did not seem to a manager and the staff did one thing at a time, e.g. they would bring a couple of dishes to a table then walk back to the counter without looking to see if other tables were ready to order, needed clearing or needed a drink, etc.. Sometimes all 3 staff would disappear, presumably to the kitchen, for several minutes. It took ages to get an aperitif, place our order, and even longer to receive the food. The wine list was extensive and included many local wines but the staff did not help the customers (no sommelier?). At one point a server taking dishes away dropped a knife on the floor, several staff walked passed it including the server who dropped it but only 5 minutes later was it noticed and picked up. The restaurant was about 60% full and most customers were getting upset with the service and delays. Finally one of the staff explained there was a problem with the system passing orders to the kitchen hence the delay in preparing dishes so we would need to be patient but would be offered a free drink. Surely a manager or the chef would have realised there was a problem and reacted sooner. Breakfast was buffet style but with a station to cook eggs to order. A good selection of food on the buffet, a nice setting in a glassed atrium, and there was a lady in charge who was friendly and efficient.

We booked two river view rooms, the highest category before the suites, expecting a view. However, our river view rooms had no views to speak of. One room required you to go to the far end, turn right, and squint through a window the size of a pillow to catch a glimpse. In the other room, you'd have to step onto a step just to peer through another small window. This happened in *both* rooms—clearly not an isolated incident. The most egregious part? We pointed this out to the hotel and gave them a chance to rectify the situation. They refused to move us, offer any credit, or provide a solution. We even suggested checking out for a partial refund—they declined. I've never encountered a hotel so unwilling to address a legitimate complaint, even when it's clear the guests are unhappy for valid reasons. It's obvious what's going on here. I rarely leave reviews, but this kind of behavior needs to be exposed—it's truly shocking. I suspect this hotel relies on older guests and tour groups who overlook this blatant false advertising. That's the only explanation I have for the otherwise positive reviews. And before the property responds claiming surprise at our experience: we exhausted all options, including contacting *******, who offered a partial refund upon seeing photo evidence. The funds came from *******, not the hotel, which declined to do anything when ******* contacted the hotel.
