My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although nice, were quite small and uncomfortably warm at night. On the bright side, the bathroom was impressive with a very large shower. However, the upper floor lacked proper ventilation. The service was friendly overall, but there were instances where staff seemed inexperienced and needed more training. The location was memorable, especially for leisurely visits to the nearby Abbey, but it felt slightly lacking in management focus. Dining was a bit of a letdown with disorganized and overpriced options, although the homemade pizza offered a better experience.

The hotel had some drawbacks like the lack of proper ventilation in the rooms causing discomfort during the night despite using a fan, and the storage area for linens and towels was not appealing. On the bright side, the location was exceptional, allowing for unique experiences such as visiting the abbey when closed. Service was top-notch despite occasional lapses, and dining, although overpriced, offered delicious meals. The hotel provides a wonderful setting for exploring, especially for biking enthusiasts.

Staying at the hotel was a mix of pleasant surprises and a few disappointments. The rooms were modern but uncomfortably cold, lacking a secure feeling for frequent travelers like us. On the bright side, it felt like being in a contemporary cloister, albeit sparsely furnished. The service was a mix of friendly and professional, with some quirky touches. The location was full of historical charm but needed more attention to detail. Dining offered good quality but fell short on variety. Overall, a stay with both highs and lows.

The hotel offers stylish and smartly decorated rooms that, while not very spacious, are fresh and clean. Some lack of home comforts and lighting upstairs slightly overshadow the pleasant ambiance. The service is a mix of helpfulness and aloofness, with efforts to assist but limited staffing levels affecting the overall experience. The location within the historic abbey grounds is stunning, yet management focus could be improved. Dining presents a style-over-substance issue with eco-friendly but lackluster offerings. Overall, a unique setting with room for enhancement.

The hotel has a modern feel with castle-like walls and nice touches like a sliding panel to hide the TV. However, rooms on the third floor for handicapped guests appear worn. The service is attentive and helpful, especially by the older staff, making the stay enjoyable. The location in the Abbey provides a historical feel, but some dining options were overpriced and underwhelming.
