1 night stay with a baby. There was no kettle but we were able to get it at the reception. The room was quite small and there were hairs on the floor and a few on the bed. The breakfast was great.

Great Hotel in lovely grounds
We had a great stay at this Hotel. The room was spacious, well thought-out, and we had a lovely view over the extensive grounds. This Hotel loves sports, lots of facilities, especially for bicyclists. The whole building is full of light and space. Would definitely recommend. The staff were great - their English is wonderful!

I would give this hotel rather 3 stars.
The rooms are basic but nice & functional.
The plumbing was not good: when your neighbour takes a shower there's a lot of noise in the room which woke us up in the morning. Never heard that before...
Many of the doors / walls have scratches and could use some paint.
There's a very nice parking & good wifi.
Breakfast is very nice but it was very crowded so people came too close to each other (Corona measures not followed)

Not bad but not special
The hotel is more of a convention center with a hotel attached to it rather than the other way round. The hotel accommodation in in one wing reception somewhere in the middle and the restaurant is right in the opposite end in the far corner. Sports is very much the theme here so it was designed for strong sporty people. More difficult if you're mobility is compromised.
No mini-bar or even refrigerator or tea & coffee facilities in the room. They gave me a kettle but had to walk out to the reception to get it!
They were happy to keep my milk and stuff in their refrigerator for me, but again, I had to walk over to the reception to give it to them and to collect it.
Beds were small and narrow. No bedside table. Little things but they make a difference.
