Ege
★★★★★2 months agoStunning castle. The whole property is huge, with a massive garden and surrounding area that was perfect for walking around and relaxing. Everything was well maintained, the staff were welcoming. Room had mini fridge as well. Definitely one of the most unique hotels I’ve stayed at. Dream came true.

★★★★★a month agoI have to say that I received a very warm welcome from the staff at check-in. I was given a detailed tour of the facilities, and Djalel demonstrated exceptional hospitality throughout. Having worked in customer service for the past 15 years as a cabin crew member with Emirates, I can confidently say that he is one of the most professional hotel staff members I have come across. The facilities are excellent, and the rooms are very comfortable.
