I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were incredibly comfortable and luxurious, with a spacious and elegant bathroom. The only downside was the small size and the absence of a fridge, which was a bit inconvenient for storing medications. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the city center and shop at designer stores. The service was friendly and efficient, although it didn't quite meet the high expectations of a 5-star hotel. Dining options were excellent, with fresh and quality choices available, but dining costs were on the higher side. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although cozy with a nice city view, was a bit small and we had to wait 20 minutes to get a table. Munching on chocolate covered strawberries was a lovely touch, but looking out over a garage was not the best view.

The room on the 18th floor had a nice city view and was very cozy on a wintry, snow evening. However, it was a bit small, and we had to wait 20 minutes to get a table.

The hotel's position A right in the center was very convenient for us to get around. It was great that we could walk to most places, although we had to ride bikes to the pier as it was a bit far.
