Beautiful hotel close to everything

10.0

I loved this hotel, which is so centrally located (an easy walk from the main train station). The staff was very warm and the breakfast was one of the best I've had in a European hotel. Yes, the hotel is expensive but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

I wouldn't stay here again.

5.0

The rooftop pool is nice, and the view is amazing. The breakfast was good.

At the pool, a waiter came over and took my bottle of water from the table even though it was still three-quarters full, without asking me first. The reception staff seemed like they were on another planet. Considering how much they charge for a room, the staff are beyond criticism in the worst possible way.

A lovely stay, if it fell slightly short of expectations.

Location and facilities.

Room was dusty. Dysfunctional lift system. Not sure on value for money.
