This was a beautiful experience. We're glad we stayed here.
Pros:

From the moment we entered the hotel we were impressed by the helpfulness, efficiency and friendliness of the staff. I can honestly say that every member of staff we encountered maintained that standard. They were exceptional. The hotel was also beautiful, the room was spacious, spotless and extremely comfortable. The SPA is just a little part of heaven.
We knew that we were booking some luxury at the end of a trip, and the price reflects that, but we both felt that we received a premium product and were happy to pay an appropriate price for it.
Oh, and by the way, it's only a few minutes walk from all of the Central 'must visit' sites.

Cons:

The fact that it doesn't have a car park can't be helped, given its central location. There is limited space at the front door to unload/reload a car, if that's how you're travelling. The concierge was very helpful in this regard.

Good location but not the usual luxury 5 star rooms you would expect.
Pros:

Good central location
The spa was very nice

Cons:

The rooms are a little tired.
The towels were rough and thin and very small. The shower/bath drainage was very poor. It meant showering in a pool of water up to my ankles
I could hear people above walking around loudly.

Heerlijk verblijf met geweldige wellness
Pros:

Heerlijke spa, mooi hotel. Super schoon. Bed iets te zacht, maar een ruime kamer met fijn zitje.

Cons:

Laat bij aankomst de gasten zien waar het restaurant /spa entree e.d. zit.
