Great spot close to the river!
Pros:

The room was spacious and comfortable. And quiet, even though it was right next to the elevator. Breakfast was perfect with a nice selection and fresh espresso!

Mediocre
Pros:

The room was large and mostly clean

Cons:

It was not remotely a 4 star hotel. It was booked as a special occasion and I deliberately wanted a nice hotel. It was a glorified premier inn with less access. They locked the front door all the time so you had to wait for someone to be available to let you in which made us feel like second class citizens.
We had to ask to get the room cleaned and they were poor with restocking the coffee and sugar and water. The downstairs area kept smelling of sewage also. Our bathroom smelt like drains also.
No view from the bedroom just frosted glass.

Querer y no poder
Pros:

La amplitud de la habitación y del baño.

Cons:

Tuve la sensación de que todo era un querer y no poder en general. Ofrecian accesibilidad y había cosas que estaban muy bien, pero incompletas.Tenian la parte de restauración muy amplia e incluso bonita,pero nunca estaba abierta y no daban comidas de ningún tipo.El desayuno buffet correcto, pero te tenias que hacer la tortilla francesa y huevos tú.En un hornillo y unas sartenes muy limitadas,heche en falta servilletas y alguna cosa más. Estaba todo bien organizado, pero pienso que no correctamente,habría que darle una vuelta.Creo que el personal trabajaba de más innecesariamente, posiblemente por una mala gerencia o dirección.

séjour correct.
Pros:

chambre spacieuse, au calme mais vue sur des toits. WC séparés. Bons produits en SDB.

Cons:

Avoir une bouilloire en chambre et un format de thés et infusions plus simple que les dosettes de la machine à café. J'ai demandé une chambre avec baignoire ce qui n'a pas été possible.
Qualité du petit déjeuner moyenne, ne correspond pas à un 4 étoiles, jus d'orange pas bon. Pas de graines, les yaourts qui flottent dans un saladier avec des glaçons. Viennoiseries moyennes.
