The castle stay is an experience everyone should try at least once. I love the scenery, the staff was very nice and professional, I loved seeing all kinds of different people and tourist stopping to take pictures and interacting with guests, staying in the castle takes you back to old times and how people used to live.

We had an unpleasant stay at this hotel. First off, the rooms are very dingy, they could use a lot of updating, which I think can be done without losing the integrity of the castle. The towels and bed sheets were stained and old. The bathroom sink and toilet kept backing up. There was no AC in our room. When I asked why the wifi wasn’t working, I was told by the receptionist that the internet doesn’t work in the bedrooms - not sure why that is?? And to top it off, the dining room tablecloths were very dirty as well. When I was given our bill for our breakfast, we were overcharged (not sure if intentional or not), so make sure you double check your bill if you do eat there.

Me gusto su historia, descuidados los muebles de las habitaciones (camas) y sillas, las colchas muy viejas, el baño en el area de la regadera tenia moho los pasillos mucho polvo y el agua de la la alberca esta fria muy fria. pienso que deberian invertirle un poco a todas las habitaciones sin exepción ya que cuando uno reserva las habitaciones mas accesibles siempre estan ocupadas.

La almohada no tenía ni funda; de verdad me dio muchísimo asco acostarme en la cama. Las instalaciones están muy viejas y descuidadas, se me cayó algo a un lado de la cama y estaba súper sucio todo. Había un sillón y estaba todo roto y quemado de cigarros, y para colmo taladraban las paredes y hacían mil ruido De verdad que un hotel con tanto potencial lo tengan como si lo habitaran mal vivientes

Nos hospedamos en este alojamiento dado que fuimos a una boda que se celebró en el mismo sitio, sin embargo la instalaciones dejan mucho que desear, a pesar de que el exterior luce llamativo y diferente, las habitaciones son muy viejas, tienen muebles muy deteriorados. En el baño NUNCA NUNCA salió agua caliente, no había nadie que nos apoyara con eso. El día del evento, a pesar de que se aclaró que el edificio era únicamente para la boda. Mientras los encontrábamos en loa canapés previos a la fiesta, fuimos CORRIDOS por parte de una organizadora de eventos de OTRO evento del cual nunca se le informó a los novios. Si están pensando hacer su evento en este lugar, recomiendo no hacerlo o que les aclaren y firmen todas las condiciones que se inició se proponen No recomiendo este lugar ni para hospedarse ni para eventos. Personal de recepción fataaaal! Muy poco amable y 0 empatico. Ya había visto malas reseñas de este lugar, sin embargo, dado que íbamos a un evento en este lugar, decidimos que era la mejor opción, pero hubiera preferido un Airbnb a quedarme aquí
