I found the hotel's decor quite pleasant both in the restaurant and in common areas. I appreciated the food offered at the Fox bar during lunch. The service provided by the waitress Anca was attentive. This enhanced my visit significantly.

The hotel has a grand historic building. I liked the green grounds around it. They are ideal for nature walks. The decor felt tasteful. The room had space and was comfortable.
Check-in did not feel cute. I did not think much of the service. The staff was not very friendly. I found the decor in the rooms needed updating.

The grounds looked well-kept, so I managed to take a walk.
The extractor fan outside my window meant my room smelled like food constantly, not pleasant. I also asked for nuts with my drink, but they never came. The beer I ordered tasted flat, annoying!!!
