This is a gorgeous hotel and felt like old world charm. Loved having drinks at the bar in the evening while a pianist entertained. The roof top pool we got access to, was the perfect way to unwind. We enjoyed a couple of meals on property and had zero complaints. One of our favourite stays during our trip!

Hotel in total is good and we enjoyed our stay. Although its five star hotel, to me it looks good 4 stars hotel not 5 stars. Swimming pool is a bit small but super clean. The SPA is very nice and calm atmosphere. I would suggest to book junior room as normal room doesn't have access to SPA or roof top swimming pool. However you can buy SPA pass but not rooftop swimming pool while staying in normal room. Parking is €20 per a day which is a-bit expensive. Also rooftop bar is open to all guest after 5:30. Two staff were running whole roof top bar which was not enough at all. As the roof top bar is open to public they treated local people nicer than us. Mini bar is not free and they forgot to put any sign about the price which was naughty. However when I complained about it they said it was our fault but at the end I paid for what I had. It would be nicer to put sign that costumer knows the price.
