Ich komme wieder!!!!!
Pros:

Ich war diesen September in diesem tollen Hotel und war schlichtweg begeistert - ganz besonders jedoch von allen Personen die hier arbeiten - angefangen von den Mitarbeitern an der Rezeption die bereits im Vorfeld Wünsche und Anliegen kompetent und super freundlich erfüllen und bearbeiten - das Servicepersonal beim Frühstück immer mega freundlich und besorgt - bis hin zum Reinigungspersonal in den Zimmern und im ganzen Haus - einfach wunderbar 💝

Cons:

Vielleicht noch eine zusätzliche Brotsorte 😃

Non recommandé pour toutes les personnes ayant le sommeil léger en raison du bruit des boîtes de nuit et bars proche de l'hôtel
- Personnel de ménage non sérieux sur le rangement de la chambre durant notre séjour en début septembre

Pros:

The staff was honestly great. Everyone was friendly and professional.
They share the swimming pool with the hotel next door, The Intercontinental, and I had a good time there.

Cons:

It is not a complaint, but it would be nice if they could provide free water.
