Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The stuff was great and the hotel is in a middle of a forest which is nice. Breakfast is good too. There are several problems: no water pressure and also the water are very hot or cold. Was really unpleasant to have a shower. The room was not clean (dirty floor) and after I complained must say it didn’t change much. There is no normal sidewalk between the buildings and therefore the mud is everywhere. The design and furniture feel ikea’s cheap. Considering also the high price - I do not think I worth a visit.

Hôtel au vert très confortable et refait à neuf

Hôtel aménagé dans un ensemble de belles maisons traditionnelles avec des chambres spacieuses refaites à neuf, literie confortable et salles de bain décorées avec goût. Les chambres sont bien équipées, le petit-déjeuner est bon et l’ensemble est dans la verdure. Très bon choix à Cēsis !
