Sophiendal Slotshotel

Excellet service plus healthy and tasteful dinner at the evening. The staff also helped me with an early breakfast.

Rooms are very cozy and charming in the perfect castle spirit, but didn't have e.g. any water boiling device or mini bar, nor was there any obvious place to grab a cup of coffee or tea after restaurant had closed in the evening. Arrived at a time with very few guests. While the food is what you'd expect from a place with few visitors (nice enough), the chef did a wonderful job of cooking the meat for the dishes, and especially the meat seemed a nice quality. For me personally, there was too much modern music noise from the kitchen, while the restaurant had nice classical music playing. Atmosphere of the castle was very intriguing, and the rooms worth exploring.

The atmosphere was nice, the buildings were picturesque and semi-well-kept, and the evening's waitress was well informed and polite. Here is where the compliments stop. The overall price for an overnight stay is way above what should be charged considering the following. The first thing we met on the way into the reception was a food safety report issued by the government, giving the restaurant a "sad smile", meaning the lowest standard of hygiene.... The evening meal was standard, it lacked self-esteem. In other words boring. The room itself was nice enough though the heating was down so low on arrival it was freezing. [ winter ] There are no tea or coffee facilities in the rooms, and two wine glasses were all that were on offer. [ and need to be wadhed] All in all, way to pricey for what you receive. Give it a miss.
