Uplifted but in the end disappointed.
Pros:

Smartly spaced dining seating that transitions to the Lobby and luxurious bar revels in its soaring Gothic inspired design that celebrates not only its Dominican abbey origins but also a former visitor, the 18th-early 19thc artist Jacques-Louis David, whose work even appears on the bathroom paper blotters under the glasses! BUT

Cons:

Versus the bathroom's awkward large-lever sink taps that do not transition water temp well, not least when overnight the whole building lost its hot water, a cardinal sin for a hotel of any rating. No vouchers. 'Living like a monk' thus returns to the abbey, ironically even for the pricey dining where I was not the only guest who had to ask for some accompanying lettuce that - with my order - is classically served with croquettes (for which the chef has won Awards). Great style versus some substance: you decide!

Pros:

Trinken Wasser가 있어 좋았다.
조식 좋고.
시설은 좋았다.

Cons:

에리베이터에서 내려 방으로 들어가는 입구에 계단이 있어 넘 불편. 물이 안나와 방 바꾸고.
침대가 밀리고ㅜㅜ오페라 보기위해 La Monnaie 극장 가까운 호텔을 예약했는데 많이 아쉬윘다.

Fin beliggenhed men alt var ikke helt godt
Pros:

Beliggenheden og morgenmaden

Cons:

Dampbadet virkede ikke, hvilket var en af årsager vil at vi valgte hotellet. Og saunaen var meget meget lille.
Hvis man sprang rengøringen over kunne an få en gratis drink i loungen. Men……vi fik kun en oblat til én drink selvom det var et dobbeltværelse, og vi derfor var to personer som sprang rengøringen over……..og den drink jeg fik var den værste drink jeg har fået…..
