FANTASTISCH
Pros:

Niets op aan te merken. Fantastisch hotel, leuke kamers, super vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

Alles eigenlijk.
Maar het inzet van het personeel om alles zo goed mogelijk te voorzien was wel ongelooflijk. Weinig al gezien. Zo was er de avond van ons toekomen een (gratis) concert tegenover het hotel en hebben zij voor onze kinderen nog VIP ticketten kunnen bekomen. Above and beyond. Echt super medewerkers!

Always love to revisit and experience the excellent service and unique gardens and pool area
Pros:

Service is excellent, location is great and facilities are really good

Cons:

The rooms are dated as the building is old
there weren’t enough well placed sockets in the room and double sockets wouldn’t take two uk plugs. This is not picking but the rooms are very much at the premium end of the market

Wonderful staff, great location
Pros:

The location was excellent! Right outside the old city. Valet parking was a breeze. The outdoor pool was stunning. The staff was wonderful, so helpful and friendly.

Cons:

For an expensive hotel, the in-room amenities weren’t impressive. I stayed at tiny B&B’s that at least gave you a few bottles of water and coffee/espresso pods and milk/sugar. I got 1 espresso pod, no water. Just not what i anticipated for a hotel with this profile.

They were also very focused on their role as a wedding venue, in a way that was disruptive to non-wedding guests. Wedding set-up at the Bastion pool, including assembling scaffolding and testing the sound system, definitely impaired poolside relaxation.
