A compact room but somewhat expected from a 17th century Renaissance era castle made into today’s Kastel hotel. Mine was above some kind of entrance with no nice view. There was therefore a lot of traffic noise and wafting cigarette smoke when I opened my window so I had to keep it closed instead of enjoying the fresh air. At the front of the hotel are several old chestnut trees, great for shade on a sunny day. The hill the hotel is located on is surrounded by forests, famous for their truffles. Speaking of hill, it is very steep to get here, especially when biking. There are so many pedestrians to try to avoid hitting on a very narrow cobblestone street, making things a little tense and difficult. The staff was hard to find, no-one ever seemed to be at the front desk. The hotel appeared understaffed, and the attitude of most of the staff was indifferent at best. The place definitely shows its age but is reasonably functional. A reminder that no personal cars can come into town, only local van transport can get you in/out. This can add a lot of waiting time when trying to leave the facilities. I called for a van and had to wait nearly an hour more than they had told me. Though the driver was super nice and didn’t want a tip (said it was provided by the hotel), I was very nervous I would miss my connection with such delay. This place truly felt like just another tourist trap. I would not stay here again.
