Pros:

Clean, comfortable and great location. Food was good but very expensive

Cons:

Expensive to stay and eat. Restaurant layout for breakfast was very congested and busy. One toaster made for queuing, and the hot food wasn't covered so wasn't hot at all.

Pros:

Πολυ καλο ξενοδοχείο. Λίγο προσοχή στις χρεώσεις από την πλατφόρμα καθώς δεν πληρώνεις πάντα το ποσό με το οποίο κάνεις την κράτηση

Redelijk, niet super
Pros:

Ruime en comfortabele kamer, degelijk ontbijt.

Cons:

Te kleine en overbezette wellness. Bijbetalen voor capuccino bij het ontbijt als je 750€ per nacht betaalt?
