A stunning hotel in a perfect loaction.
Pros:

Everything about the hotel exudes quality. The location is perfect, close to town but quite. Being on an island the balcony room offered fabulous views of the waterways and boats.

The staff were amazing. We were given a heads up on the wild day of constitution day celebrations, suggestions on where to visit and best of all blankets to keep warm on the roof top while having a few late beers.

The room design and quailty is exceptional and the food at breakfast and dinner were perfect.

Can't wait to return.

Best breakfast but choose the room time wisely
Pros:

The breakfast is absolutely fantastic, that’s what made me stay in this hotel the second time. High quality dishes, great service during breakfast and decent coffee which is so rare even in luxurious hotels. Located in a beautiful neighborhood. Staff at the reception was helpful and friendly. Room service and cleaning were great.

Cons:

I was absolutely disappointed with our room. Paying almost 500 eur a night (with breakfast), it was very unpleasant experience that I doubt I will repeat.
First, our shower was constantly leaking into the toilet so we had to wipe floors every time we took a shower. Second, the AC is not working properly in this hotel (now I know it for the fact, as during my first stay I had the same issue). It was very cold on the room, but I could not increase the temperature even asking the reception twice and following all their advices nothing had improved. Third, the room was extremely dark as it was facing a tall office building. We were fully aware that we will not have a sea view in the Superior double room, but it came as a surprise that it will be no view at all but instead seeing people in the office 3 meters away from our room. I do think the rooms with this view should be cheaper, because it does not feel good at all. Forth, room had almost no amenities except for useless shaving kit - again smth you just don’t expect in the room for this price, adding basic amenities in the room would show hospitality and that you care.

Modern but Comfortable
Pros:

Hardly been to trendy modern hotels and had really comfortable experiences. There is usually something wrong. Stain on those fashionable pillows, dust on shelves or uncomfortable bed and flooring. Food often tastes bland and not fresh. But... This hotel is exception! Modern and at the same time clean and comfortable. Very good experience with them. Food was amazing.

Pros:

There are many hotels in the world with beautiful locations and nice architecture, but few with this level of customer service. If you have a certain standard, and appreciate “the little extra” look no further…. Worth every penny!

Overpriced and Poor Service – Not Recommended
Pros:

Our experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing and far below expectations.

The concierge service was particularly poor — they were unable to properly arrange even a simple taxi, which is a basic expectation for any five-star hotel.

Cleanliness was also substandard, and the overall hygiene level was unacceptable for a property claiming five-star status.

Considering all of this, we strongly believe this hotel does not deserve its five-star rating. It is absolutely not worth the price, and we would strongly not recommend staying here
