Confirm your check-in arrangements, who manages your specific reservation, and any applicable fees before arrival; some reviewers describe check-in confusion involving separately managed Castle bookings.

What guests say

Guests value the location and some describe friendly service, good food and drinks, and clean surroundings or rooms. Other comments characterize rooms and the building as dated, and mention hard beds or maintenance concerns.
