I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which boasts a fantastic location close to Thermen de Zwaluwhoeve. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the grounds and lake. While the staff was friendly, they seemed a bit overwhelmed and the service could be more attentive. Dining was excellent, especially the homemade soup. Overall, it's a great value for money, but improvements in service could elevate the experience.

The rooms were clean and acceptable, though they felt a bit cramped and dated. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to assist. The dining experience was decent, but I wish there were more options available. Overall, the value for money was okay, but the room size and style could use improvement.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The location near the castle is just stunning, and the rooms, although small, were cozy and clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming, but at times it felt like they were a bit overwhelmed. The dining options could use some improvement, but the homemade desserts were a nice touch. While the price was reasonable for the experience, the service could have been slightly better during busy times.
