Pros:

הכל. החדר היה גדול, ריהוט מעולה ונקי מאוד. המלון עצמו גדול אבל לא מרגישים את האנשים, הצוות היה מעולה וכל דבר נהנה בחיוך וברצון לעזור. ארוחת הבוקר מגוונת ואיכותית.

I do not recommend this hotel; it functions more like a nightclub.
Pros:

The hotel may host nighttime events with DJs—this happened during our stay. We were on the third floor, and it was a nightmare: the music was extremely loud, making it impossible to sleep. Be sure to check if they have any events planned before you check in.

Beautiful hotel in fabulous location
Pros:

Central location! Superb very clean and fantastic food in the restaurant! Room was amazing and the Spa amazing!

Cons:

Parking was across the street and so you had to pay daily on a machine. Sometimes the car park was full so an attendant had to take your car and park it.
