Hotel Splendide Royal

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were all kind and helpful (shoutout to Leila). Hotel is clean and it’s really gorgeous. Great for those looking for a luxury, boutique feeling hotel. The view to the lake was out of this world. Breakfast was good, and we tried their pizza and it was phenomenal. "
