Not very enchanting castly
Upon checkin I was a bit shocked when greeted with the most inhospitable staff. Very cold, never once welcoming. Check in was at 3pm. I asked if the room is ready earlier, they kept repeating checkin is at 3pm. I’m like can you see if any rooms are available? They didn’t bother to look. So since the hotel was basically shut down for a wedding, there was no where to relax so we had lunch nearby and just sat in a car for a few hours. Upon checkin, the rooms are tiny. Less than advertised. Tv was old and not a smart tv. The property itself which could be magical really feels like a truck stop attraction. There’s no spa here either. It’s a massage table on a terrace. I asked to use the jacuzzis. They said they were reserved for the next 4 hours. I saw 2/5 being used. Change of staff and the place could be really nice. Or at least teach them the basics.

It's not really a hotel, but a party venue
Biggest problem was noise. I booked the highest level of suite they had for 7 nights. However the room (top left of their cover photo) is very close to their main business activity which is events and parties. Just about every day was a party of one form or another. These parties go on until the early hours or all night. One graduation party started at mid-night and finished at 07:00. These are very loud and make sleep almost impossible. I understand that as a business they want to maximise revenue, however unless you are there just for one night and are attending the party, it's not a great place to stay - or at least not in the imperial suites.

The castle is gorgeous but the rooms definitely reflect the age of the property. I stayed at the Suite da Torre (Tower suite) and it's one of the most interesting rooms I've ever stayed in with breathtaking views. The bathroom though has a constant sewage smell. The fist day we had left the windows ajar and door open and then in the next day the smell was nauseating. We had to keep the windows open to dissipate the smell. My sister also mentioned having the same smeel in her room.
Staff was excellent and the grounds had several activities for kids and adults and also several options for dinning. The views of the grounds and surrounding are gorgeous. My niece had her wedding at the castle and it was like a fairy-tale.

Fun sleeping at a tower in the castle. Our teenage girls enjoyed it, even if it was a little cheesy at times. Great balcony views, clean and spacious.

Transtorno com barulho
Boa comida. Lindo hotel. Porém tivemos um contratempo de fazerem umas furacões no quarto de frente, uma barulheira absurda sem nenhuma comunicação prévia no meio do sono do meu filho a tarde que acordou assustado. Foi comunicado mas infelizmente nenhum gerente veio se retratar do ocorrido

O atendimento e estrutura do hotel são otimos porem o hotel estava muito cheio ( ferias escolares) e apenas um elevador nao era suficiente para todos os hospedes. A suite da torre tem uma vista e uma decoracao incrivel porem a cama poderia ser queen e a escada para o segundo andar onde fica a cama de solteiro, fazer menos barulho. Impossivel nao acordar quando a pessoa que esta na parte superior desce para usar o toalette.

Me hospedaram em um quarto diferente do que reservei. A maçaneta do banheiro estava solta, o chuveiro sujo, o vaso com cheiro ruim e tinha grandes furos no blackout da cortina do quarto. Tentei entrar em contato pelo WhatsApp 2x do hotel e só me responderam quando eu já tinha saído.

Hotel interssante mas com ressalvas
É uma experiencia interessante por se tratar de um hotel e os funcionários são bastante atenciosos porém, alguns quesitos deixam à desejar: Manutenção deficiente: vários quartos apresentam problemas como ar condicionado q não funciona, chuveiro, etc; Problemas naa área da hidromassagem como torneira do chuveiro dando choque elétrico, hidro que não funciona; Problemas elétricos em geral como refletores de LED piscando (driver ruim) e fiação aparente em todo o lugar. Outra coisa que incomoda bastante é ir nos restaurantes e não ter algum prato porque faltou ingrediente (não conseguí comer um pão com linguiça). O horário do restaurante Solar também é muito restrito, fechando às 19hs na maioria dos dias da semana.
