Worth every star

I had a wonderful stay for 5 nights in this beautiful hotel. The staff, breakfast, rooms and convenience were genuinely 5 stars and I can’t find any negative thing to say about this place.
Special thanks to Karima who helped with everything needed and was always professional and available whenever needed.
Beatrice from the concierge was also very friendly and helped recommend a good place to watch the World Cup.
Overall a really good experience, thank you Waldorf.
