Pros:

The hotel and room were wonderful, as was the bar/bar staff. The terrace outside looking over the bridge is stunning!

Cons:

They note themselves as a 5 star hotel however no one was able to carry my bags to and from the room. Room service closed early and the buffet breakfast was average. Feels more like a nice 4 star hotel.
