Schönes Altstadthotel, das den 5 Sternen gerecht wird.
Pros:

Sehr schönes Hotel, alles geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Sehr gutes Frühstück mit wirklich sehr viel Auswahl und frischen Eierspeisen.

Cons:

Dass in der Bar geraucht wird. Die Bar war der einzige gemütliche Platz am Nachmittag für einen Kaffee. Es riecht dort sehr nach Rauch und nach einem Kaffee dort riecht man selbst nach Rauch. Ekelig. Das Rauchen von Gästen dort empfand ich als sehr störend und unpassend - vor allem in der heutigen Zeit.

Das beste Hotel in bester Lage ! Traumhafter Luxus !
Pros:

Das Service Angebot, das überdurchschnittlich freundliche Personal . Auch als mein Flug storniert wurde, durfte ich zurück ins Hotel um mich auszuruhen.
Der Wake up Call, die Badewanne und die Sauna um 5 Uhr morgens, all diese Wünsche wurden zu 100 % erfüllt. Es war einer meiner besten Hotel Aufenthalte die ich hatte ! Ich komme dieses Jahr wieder!

Cons:

Es nichts auszusetzen.
