We stayed here for one night. It was a relaxing stay. Our room was large with a balcony overlooking the city. The castle was a short walk from the hotel. The restaurant was good. Enjoyed our stay.

They put us in a room across from a construction job in several rooms. It was ridiculous considering the place was empty. One of the workers yelled at me for using a beach towel. There is no cups for water in the gym and it just wasn't worth the money. NOT going back!

Prima maar met een aantal kanttekening

Heel aardig personeel, hotel mooi gelegen op een heuvel, voldoende parkeergelegenheid (gratis) , prachtig vernieuwd zwembad, lekker ontbijtbuffet. Goede service. Maar de kamers in het hotel hebben dringend een renovatie nodig. Inrichting is niet meer anno 2025 en diverse dingen zijn stuk. Lekkende kraan, kluis die niet werk, kasten die versleten zijn, terras deur die niet goed sluit. Al in al niet de standaard die wij normaal van Melia gewend zijn.

Unfortunately, due to the weather we did not get to venture away from the hotel but the map shows it being close to points of interest. The hotel itself was very clean, modern and the room was very clean and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were both very good with plenty of options.

Spectacular location with breathtaking views. The city itself does not have much to offer though. The hotel is super well equipped, the gym and spa are outstanding. The restaurant serves good food and wines as good value prices. The rooms are not fantastically sound proofed so you will be aware of people around you. The staff were attentative and efficient. Overall it's worth a visit for the view and facitities.

Fim de semana desagradável

Um fim de semana que seria de descanso e relaxamento, tornou-se desagradável. Em particular a área da piscina estava transformada num “parque infantil”, com crianças a gritar a toda a hora. Acabámos por não usufruir do suposto spa, pois há pais acham que o direito deles, de entreter as suas crianças, se sobrepõe ao direito dos outros, de terem o seu descanso. E o hotel nada faz para salvaguardar o bem-estar de todos os hóspodes.

Liked: Cleanliness
A bit of a mixed review. Rooms are large and comfortable. Air conditioning is very effective and quiet. Flooring and draperies are worn, stained and in need of deep cleaning or replacing. City view room balcony was a good size with reasonable chairs and table. Dining area and bar are attractive and spacious. Parking is excellent. We didn’t find staff particularly helpful or welcoming. The included breakfast is awful. I think possibly the worst we have experienced in Europe - hot offerings extremely limited, lukewarm, tasteless and unappetizing, There was no variety at all in our three day stay. Overall, leaving a little bit disappointed I think,

Surprised with reservation cancelled when arrived

The reason I gave low grade for service is because when I arrived there there was NO reservation in my name and I had to pay again in higher tariff. I stay one hour talking at hotels.com, spoke to 5 different people and no one solved my situation. I had to call 3 times and in the last time they told me the reservation was cancelled and no refund was sent to my account or information. After one big day travelling it was a nightmare. I hope they improve their service.
