I recently stayed at the Gailes Hotel and while the atmosphere was inviting and the hotel offered lovely amenities, I encountered several issues during my visit. The rooms felt dated and were not properly prepared at check-in. The breakfast was quite good, but it was overshadowed by disturbances from the cleaning staff early in the morning. Overall, there were nice aspects, but improvements are definitely needed.

The hotel has a lovely spa and thoughtful decor that adds to its charm. However, the dining experience was quite disappointing, particularly during breakfast. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, yet some amenities, like water in the room, felt lacking. Overall, it's a beautiful place but improvements are needed in the food quality.

This hotel offers a wonderful experience with friendly and attentive staff who ensure you feel welcomed throughout your stay. While the accommodation is generally clean and modern, I found the dining options could use some improvement in terms of quality and variety, especially at the restaurant. The spa facilities are a highlight, providing a relaxing environment that made our stay enjoyable. However, I was disappointed by the extra charges associated with spa access when booking through a third party, which felt unfair.

Overall, it was a mixed experience, with some highs but significant lows that impacted the enjoyment of my stay.
