I had a great time at this resort. The views from my room were stunning, and it was really nice to relax on the balcony. The room itself was clean and beautifully decorated.

What a wonderful stay! The hotel is beautifully situated right on the water with amazing views, especially from the balcony where I could see Boldt Castle. The rooms are clean, modern, and comfortable, but the noise from the nearby boat tours in the morning can be a bit disruptive. Overall, it's a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying the scenery, but it would be even better if the noise issues were addressed.

My stay at the hotel was a lovely experience overall. The location next to the boat docks and within walking distance to restaurants and shops made it very convenient. The room was decent in size with a comfortable bed, though it could have been cleaner, especially the windows. I enjoyed the views of Boldt Castle and the channel, but the noise from the boats and other guests was noticeable at times. Overall, it was a good value for money, but some areas need improvement.
