Pros:

nice rooms

Cons:

we asked for a room at lower level, but apparently the staff didn't realize that even with the elevator, that they pointed out,some steps had to be dealt with. Not very convenient for our friend

Comfortabel in de stad
Pros:

Mooie ligging, goed toegankelijk, beetje verwarrend met de 2 soorten liften. En 2e lift is niet toegankelijk voor rolstoelen. Mooi oud pand tot modern hotel gemaakt

Cons:

Ik vond het lastig dat het douche water niet tegengehouden werdt door een wand of iets. En het toilet in de kamer die ik had zat los en kraakte heel erg als je erop zat. Alsof die van de muur zou vallen.

Superb
Pros:

Alles. De kamer, het gebouw, de ontbijtruimte en het ontbijtbuffet, en bijzonder de op maat gesneden bereiding van de eieren.
En dan het diner met perfect wijnarrangement.
Gewoonweg vorstelijk allemaal

Cons:

De bediening was in de brasserie was soms wat onervaren en langzaam
