We had a great experience here at this hotel. Staff were superb and gave us an upgrade because of our VIP Expedia status. The bar was fabulous and fun and great cocktails. The only two drawbacks are: (1) there is no convenient parking nearby and (2) the rooms are certainly on the small side even after an upgrade to a chamber suite. All in all it was a good experience fun hotel!

I liked the newly renovated rooms. I did not like that the rooms were small and cramped despite getting the Grand Chambre king. The Common Club restaurant was a disaster. We wanted a special dinner for 6 of us . We wanted the pan seared fish. Only 1 could have it despite our being the first customers that night. My wife specifically ordered the more tender and aged rib eye, the brought the chewy sirloin which my wife cannot eat due to TMJ dysfunction. The breakfast room EVE’s hostess Manuela was the most professional one. The egg station cook should have the ability and capacity to cook fresh scrambled eggs French style

We loved the location, the room, the breakfast option and the upper deck looking out over the city and castle. The room was very comfortable! The only issue was the view, we paid for a castle view room which we technically had, but the window was so small and kind of blocked so we couldn’t really see it. On the plus side we were just down the hall from the deck, which had a fantastic view of the castle!
