Great location- great staff- poor room design
Pros:

I loved the rooftop pool with bar service. Happy Hour from 6-7 was a nice touch. Breakfast was delicious with lots of fresh choices. The staff was all super nice and helpful!

Cons:

The room itself was pleasant to look at, but the function was terrible. There was only a single USB port next to the bed, but no electric outlets. My husband uses a cpap machine and the nearest outlet was across the room built into a desk. The kind staff at the desk got him a 30 foot extension cord. We had to be careful at night not to trip over the cord.
There were no regular end tables- a slide out shelf (from under the wardrobes on each side of the mattress headboard ) of 7 inches is a poor substitute- it couldn’t hold the cpap machine- it had to go on the floor. At least this hidden shelf held a glass of water.
The other design issues were with the smoked glass walls in the shower and toilet and sink cubicles coupled with poor lighting in these areas made it difficult to get ready.
(I hate glass walls- lack of privacy from the shower area to the bed and turning on the light at night to use the toilet, lights up the whole room.)
The last design flaw was the giant bathroom sink which left only a tiny bit of room for our bathroom necessity bags.
I know these are picky things, but when you book a design hotel, even at their basic room level, you expect good design.
The more expensive rooms might have better features.

Pros:

Erinomainen sijainti. Ylellinen ja tyylikäs. Minusta ei lainkaan liian moderni. Ja toisin kuin monissa kommenteissa, itse en pitänyt teknologiaa mitenkään hankalana: esim. huoneiden valojen käyttö erittäin intuitiivista ja helppoa. Upea terassi ylhäällä.

Iso plus ilmaiselle parkkihallille, joka helppo käyttää ja tilava.

Ehdottomasti suosittelen!

Cons:

Ei mitään heikkoa.

Pros:

Het ontbijt was erg luxe en uitgebreid. De locatie is ook erg prettig, midden in het centrum. Parkeren kan onder het gebouw (bij het paarse bord) en dat was perfect. Ruime kamers.

Cons:

Het viel ons op dat het overal erg donker was. De kamers, maar ook de ontbijt ruimte. Wij vonden dit niet erg prettig. Wij hadden iets bijzonders te vieren, mijn partner heeft 4 keer iets proberen te regelen met de medewerkers maar alles was lastig en ze konden niets voor ons doen. Dit vonden wij toch wel tegen vallen.
