Very pleasant stay! I would stay again for sure!
Pros:

Beautiful room, very nice roof bar, excellent location!

Cons:

The water tap of the bathroom sink needs to be tightened. But that was a minor shortcoming.

Fabuleux
Pros:

Accueil et prestations haut de gamme

Cons:

Le soleil tape sur les vitres de la chambre et on se retrouve très vite dans un sauna pendant la journée. La climatisation n'y change pas grand chose.

מבחוץ נראה יוקרה, אבל בפנים יש בעיות כפי שהסברתי
Pros:

המיקום מצוין
חדרים גדולים ונוחים

Cons:

המיזוג עובד חלש, בקיץ לא הייתי בא למלון הזה
קבלתי חדר בצד האחורי של המלון , כשפתחתי את הוילון הנוף הנשקף הוא ערימת זבל , זה לא סביר בעיני למלון יוקרה
גם חדר האוכל בקומה 9 זה גימיק נחמד אבל הוא קטן וצפוף .

I would thoroughly recommend the Sense Hotel.
Pros:

The food was very good though the room was a little cramped at breakfast. Hotel location was excellent. As was the fitness centre.

Cons:

As someone with effective vision in only one eye the steps at the entry door are too dark. Either provide lighting or mark the top of the steps with tape. Also the glass doors between the rooms and the stairs require a label; otherwise it is easy to walk into them.
