Unfortunately, due to the weather we did not get to venture away from the hotel but the map shows it being close to points of interest. The hotel itself was very clean, modern and the room was very clean and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were both very good with plenty of options.

Spectacular location with breathtaking views. The city itself does not have much to offer though. The hotel is super well equipped, the gym and spa are outstanding. The restaurant serves good food and wines as good value prices. The rooms are not fantastically sound proofed so you will be aware of people around you. The staff were attentative and efficient. Overall it's worth a visit for the view and facitities.

A bit of a mixed review. Rooms are large and comfortable. Air conditioning is very effective and quiet. Flooring and draperies are worn, stained and in need of deep cleaning or replacing. City view room balcony was a good size with reasonable chairs and table. Dining area and bar are attractive and spacious. Parking is excellent. We didn’t find staff particularly helpful or welcoming. The included breakfast is awful. I think possibly the worst we have experienced in Europe - hot offerings extremely limited, lukewarm, tasteless and unappetizing, There was no variety at all in our three day stay. Overall, leaving a little bit disappointed I think,

Surprised with reservation cancelled when arrived
The reason I gave low grade for service is because when I arrived there there was NO reservation in my name and I had to pay again in higher tariff. I stay one hour talking at hotels.com, spoke to 5 different people and no one solved my situation. I had to call 3 times and in the last time they told me the reservation was cancelled and no refund was sent to my account or information. After one big day travelling it was a nightmare. I hope they improve their service.

Have stayed here several times before when it was owned by another company. Nothing has changed - it’s still an amazing hotel with great staff, comfy rooms, large well equipped bathrooms and excellent restaurant. Can’t wait to stay here again.

Anyway not going back that way
The hotel is sitting at the top of the hill n windy. 3 to 5c temperature n TWO days without heat. When checking out told the front desk n she said yes two days no heat. Never apologize about it n never mind that they will compensate for it. It sounds like very normal for them. WiFi was very slow almost can’t download anything. 4 stars hotel without any sound proof walls. We can hear our neighbors talking n from the hallway. No railings at the pool and hot tub. We have to get support from the wall to get into the slippery hot tub. Disappointed with this hotel
