Pädaste Manor

Disappointing

  : The service was pleasant. The age of the personnel seemed very young and inexperienced, but despite that, they did their job beautifully. The quality and service of the restaurant was impeccable. The SPA was also pleasant. The atmosphere is beautiful and historic. The only good thing in the room was the bed.
  : We were not satisfied with the room. On the first day, we discovered that there was no electricity in the wall socket. Then we discovered that there was electricity in the fridge, but the fridge was warm. Unusable, after which they came and replaced the refrigerator in our room. But when you are traveling with a 6-month-old child, you don't expect or want such fuss in a room that you have paid for 400 per night. In a quality 5star hotel, everything is pre-checked before the customer is allowed inside. The furniture is antique, but the overall impression of the room is shabby, weathered and tired. There are stains on the carpet (presumably from water from the roof and it has left dried spots on the carpet) - not pleasant and worthy of 5 stars. In the bathroom, there are certain holes in the plastered wall, which are not nice to look at either, because the repair work is poor. Entering the room with the personnel, we were presented with a long presentation about how to use air conditioner remote - instead, she should have pointed out the aspects of the room that need special treatment. For example, there is no hot water coming out of the shower. Since time is VERY limited with such a small child, I had 10 minutes where I wanted to take a shower. To my frustrating surprise, I discovered that there was only cold water. Later, when we were assured on the phone that there was hot water in the room, that the buttons had to be screwed front or back, I tuned them for 3-4 minutes, and on the fifth minute, warm water started coming out slowly, slowly and weakly. Lukewarm water trickled from the shower with weak pressure. Surely I had spent 8 minutes of my time and had to leave the room already. And without the possibility of washing. Very annoyed! The room is certainly not worthy of a 5-star hotel. A nod that is added to the bathroom does not add stars. The overall quality of the room is poor.

  : Our room in the main building was very nice and well functioning. We loved the restaurant - the food was really great and service top. Spa procedures were though my absolute favorite - knowledgeable and good service with a very nice relax option after the procedures. Thank you!
  : Sadly our family who stayed over in one of the side buildings suffered under several hick-ups, such as lack of warm water, electricity plugs not functioning and misfunctioning fridge. Though these things did not happen in our room, they still effected our joint vacation flow to an extent. A luxury hotel cannot afford such mishaps.

  : Very nice, silent and cozy place, professional staff in the main restaurant and reception.
  : When you charge almost 400EUR per night for the room, maximum comfort and professionalism is expected, so details comes into the game: - Teenagers working in the secondary restaurant and other areas helps hotel to keep costs down, but lack of experience and knowledge brings service level down. For example its completely normal to not know beer styles for teen, who takes an order for it, but its not normal to get such service for customer, when he pays 10EUR per small bottle of local beer. - In some areas of the main building parts of painting felt down and it looks strange for such luxury place. - When you ask your customer to commit day in advance for the dinner at the price of 110+ EUR per person with the promise of "every day different menu", it should be as promised. Not the same main course and appetizers every day. - King size bed, having two separate mattress is very uncomfortable when you find yourself sleeping in the middle of the bed in the midnight. - Last and the most impressive: you can get only regular black coffee on the breakfast included. If you want cappuccino - you should pay extra. Once again: pay extra for the cappuccino in the hotel of this price level. Unbelievable

  : Wonderful location. Perfect combination of peace and infrastructure. People, rooms, food, spa - everything was at a very good level. Slow pace helped us relax and disconnect. We will surely come back!
  : I would comment only 2 things to be improved: - minimum time for a wooden sauna should start from 1,5 hours. 1 hour is not enough - I would appreciate more flexibility with the food menu at Alexander restaurant. I was feeling unwell and instead of cancelling few of my plates my husband was proposed to eat double portions. That was not something we expected.

  : Beginning with the staff, simply amazing. Couldn't wish for more from the service. The facilities and room are also excellent as well as the restaurant. The breakfast their offer: haven't had anywhere better!
  : But what to do in the premise then: basically there is no other activities than the private spa. If the Spa would be open for guests (not only by appointment for treatments), this would be 10.

  : The incredible location of the hotel, at the very end of Muhu in a picture perfect piece of land by the sea. The rooms were beautiful, the bed unbelievably soft. The staff is pleasant, has an eye for details and is very helpful. From the ladies at the entrance to the breakfast service. (A special thanks to Bilal our waiter for his incredible sense of humour and politeness). Our stay at Padaste was magical and walking around the manor both in the evening through the vegetable garden or in the morning by the sea made it all the more relaxing. I recommend the morning yoga/stretching session which is a perfect way to start the day before heading to breakfast.
  : This is not much to dislike in such a wonderful place. The only interaction that was a little uncomfortable was the visit of the owner at our breakfast table in the morning. While a simple "I hope you are doing well, enjoy your stay" would have been enough, he decided to start to telling my family about his life and opinions on life in Estonia while we were trying to enjoy our breakfast together. - A touch of EQ would have been appreciated. Aside from this, nothing to throw away, beautiful place for a magical moment!
