Welcoming and definitely be back!
Pros:

It was clean and very welcoming

Cons:

The selection of drinks in the room could be a bit better. I would have liked some herbal tea instead of just breakfast tea.

Appreciated the shuttle to the airport.
Pros:

Very Comfortable room and beautiful interior in lobby and dining room.

Cons:

Arrived by bus and entrance to the hotel was rather obscure and dark. Walked totally around the building with luggage before arriving where we started and went in.

Very good room and value for money upgrade.
Pros:

Room was excellent and also breakfast

The original check-in could have given some better information, e.g. breakfast times were not stated or where breakfast would be served.

Quality hotel but you pay for it
Pros:

Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was well equipped. Furnishings were of good quality. Food was good too.

Cons:

The whole hotel was very dark even though it was bright outside and nearly the longest day of the year.
Food and drink were very expensive here.
Getting to the hotel by car was fine but finding your way out again was an absolute nightmare.

Das Hotel kann man sehr empfehlen.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war qualitativ sehr gut. Es gab Frühstück nach Karte oder vom Buffet. Das Buffet hätte ein wenig mehr Auswahl ( z.B Käse ) haben können. Das ist aber der einzige kleine Kritikpunkt.
Das Bett war gut, die Klimaanlage im Zimmer war auch sehr gut.
Besonders toll fanden wir den kostenlosen Schuttleservice vom Hotel zum Flughafen. Der hat supergut funktioniert!

Cons:

Mit öffentlichem Nahverkehr ist das Hotel etwas umständlich zu erreichen. Das gleicht aber der Schuttelservice zum Flughafen voll aus.

Pros:

Posizione strategica per chi come noi aveva necessità di un appoggio vicino all'aereoporto per consentirci di partire presto la mattina, visto che dovevamo riconsegnare anche la macchina. Staff molto cordiale ed efficiente, checkin e checkout super spediti. Stanza ben arredata e fornita di tutti i comfort e prodotti che possono essere necessari

Cons:

Nulla in particolare
