Disappointing
Pros: Huge area, almost no guests, at least when we were in low season, perfect for bird watching and relaxing near the river, the air is fresh, peace and quiet. Perfect breakfast, very pleasant staff, in general very nice rooms, especially with the view to the river, two big swimming pools. TV has a few foreign channels as well - French, German and a few in English. Nice wifi.
Cons: Lack of preliminary feedback: First, before booking, we had sent them several messages on booking, - they didn't reply, we had sent them an email, they didn't reply either. And that was during low season. Clearly issues with the management of the hotel.
We went there specifically for such amusement as kayaking, jacuzzi, billiard, table tennis, yet none of those were available. We requested several times for any chance to take a boat ride, they said it was impossible and added that they don't provide such services, yet their brochures in the hall indicated the opposite.
Ping-pong table was broken, billiard was completely destroyed with several balls lacking. The area around seems to be under constant and hopeless maintenance, hopeless because 70% of the territory should be completely rebuilt rather than refreshed, everything looked old and shattered, the wallpapers in the rooms falling apart, no bathrobes, no sockets next to the beds, minibar prices are unreasonable, plenty of insects.
Nobody explained us when we were checking in what facilities are available and where they are - at the reception there was only one person speaking English and she was always busy. The hotel is clearly understaffed, they desperately need proper maintenance since it is literally falling apart.
The area around is dangerous for children and adults - broken glass bottles near the jacuzzi and swimmingly area that is not working, unmaintained swimmingpool facilities and unsafe playground for children, although children's room is absolutely fine with great staff.
Overall, the hotel is not good value for money. Maybe in early 2000s it was okay and I bet they charged the same amount as now. With all the disadvantages they should provide a decent discount for their clients, but they charge them as if this place is a newly refurbished five star hotel.
This hotel deserves 2 starts, but not 5.
