Pros:

Bequemes Bett und angenehme Dusche. Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Erst nach der Buchung wird man informiert, dass man für das Spa extra bezahlen und einstündige Slots buchen muss, es schliesst früh. Der Zugang zum Lift ist beschwerlich.

Ich empfinde den Preis als deutlich zu hoch.

Pros:

My mum and i visited this hotel and spa for my mums birthday. Our room got upgraded as we came to check-in to what i believe was a suite. It was absolutely stunning! The staff had set up our room with the balloons that i requested a a box of chocolates. The spa was as amazing as i remember. I have stayed at this hotel numerous times before and it never fails to disappoint!

Cons:

We weren't bothered at all but the only thing is that we were missing 1 pair of slippers, very very minor.

Central location
Pros:

Central location, spa facilities

Cons:

It’s a very expensive hotel to stay at but it doesn’t feel quite as special as it should. The hotel is beginning to feel a little tired. We stayed here 8 years ago and it was all lovely. Now the air con doesn’t work effectively and the decor in spa is not looking its best. We paid for breakfast included however the hotel said this was just continental and we would have to pay extra to have the full breakfast. Having stayed here and at the sister hotels this one feels neglected.

Well positioned hotel
Pros:

Staff friendly and very helpful . Breakfast was amazing .Enjoyed the cocktail on Sunday . Room spacious.

Cons:

The spa was poor , dimly lit and felt dingy . Would have been better to be free, for clients. The coat hangers were incredibly high , we couldn’t get them on and off the rail easily .

Overall this place left a bad impression due to issues with the staff and their management of things. Save your money an
Pros:

Good location so very convenient to walk around and wander

Cons:

Lots of extra charges that, had we known before booking, we would’ve reconsidered our stay. Staff were unprofessional at times and caused scenes with us, related to communication breakdown amongst them that then we were expected to solve (?), which as a guest at a hotel that in paying to relax is disappointing to say the least. Attempts to rectify the situation were empty so we’re discouraged to stay here again.
