Pros:

I Think that the Meu is very specific. Could have more options, not so vegan or sofisticate.
The roof top always have an event and the library/work room too. Its difficult to enjoy it' during the day

Cons:

The ambience

Pros:

Mooie kamers, en ze waren connected, dat was fijn! Goede locatie en mooi ingericht, zeker de lobby!

Cons:

Heel druk rooftop restaurant, eerste avond was het vol en konden wij nergens terecht. Bij het zwembad was er geen mogelijkheid om op een bedje te liggen, omdat het te druk was.

Pros:

Great hotel, only stayed one night so didn't get to use the facilities. Shame there isn't a spa for just residential use, I would have loved to have a sauna only but the price was too high.

Avoid at all costs, take money without authorisation after you checkout!
Pros:

Very modern and clean. The food was also very nice.

Cons:

After checkout i had 2 large unauthorised payments from my bank account. This is completely unacceptable and the hotel is dismissing me after i have phoned and emailed them.I have now had to dispute this with my bank. I have not had this issue with any other hotels whilst on holiday. Very concerning and disappointing that this is happening, it’s technically fraud. The billing department needs looking into asap.

Nice hotel but not worth premium price for the service.
Pros:

Breakfast was 10/10. Beds comfortable

Cons:

Service was very sub par. Flooded bathroom, multiple calls to staff to come help. There was no our of the ordinary service for such a highly rated hotel
