I stayed here nearly 2 years ago, I always write reviews on Yahoo Travel after hotel stays and this is what I wrote then:

Maybe in museum terms it’s considered a castle, but to my eyes it’s an old ugly building. The lobby looks like a train station after a busy weekend and the rooms are nice only in an artificial way. In other words I think their next meeting should be subjected "renovation".

But credit where it’s due, the service is second to none, they treat you like royalty. The rooms are spacious and very cosy packed with all the usual amenities plus loads more. The beds are big and comfortable and the views are breathtaking, restaurants and food is also nothing to turn your nose up at.

In short, an excellent hotel but bring in the bulldozers.....
