Pros:

Tolle Lage, kostenloser Shuttlebus zur Waterfront, saubere, geräumige Zimmer, sehr umfangreiches Frühstücksbuffet.

Cons:

Leider war der Rooftop-Pool während unseres Aufenthaltes wegen Renovierung geschlossen. Der Pool war mit ein Grund, wieso wir das Hotel gewält haben. Sehr schade...

We had a 9-night stay that met our expectations.
Pros:

Food standards and service pretty good for a four star hotel. Location not on the waterfront but good to know the hotel provide a shuttle service to the waterfront area free of charge and very frequent.

Cons:

There is nothing specific that we did not like. For a four star hotel the rooms, food outlets and staff service were excellent.
