Then I got they key from the room and the Explanation was 9 floorโ€ฆ. Even i needed to ask where the breakfast is.. Room: Super cold ? totally small room AC is super loud and stinky was not possible to Use it, so I turned off. In the bathroom same Super loud and not possible to turn it off. And in the bathroom the sink was dirty and the toilet paper holder was broken The Pillows were to soft and they didnโ€™t have Nothing else to offer. Breakfast: Absolutely awful nor 3,4 guys looking super sleepy and so done no body takes care of you where to sit food was old bread was stale the cheese was thrown like like you are supposed to eat it as a pig fruits old grapes not washed and with seeds omelet station didnโ€™t work water dirty and awful no service at all Never a 5 star hotel I would give them 3 stars max super old

Hotel is in a nice garden with multiple restaurants. Lot of space where to sit or make an appointment. Swiming pool and gym.

The personel were not helpful, I had multiple times problem with card opening the room. In the hotel was hot, around 25 on my room. Got sick after eating in the hotel restaurant Burata. Last day Got early on breakfast and found cockroaches in the basked with pastry. Personel don't even replaced the whole basket, just make attenpt to catch cockroaches. Terible.

It was spacious and Inna relatively good location.

The hotel is dated, there is no separate parking and the barrier was closed. We were not allowed to drop off our bags at the entrance and had to drag it to the entrance ourselves. Yet, some other expensive cars were allowed to park next to the entrance. The air conditioning wasnโ€™t working in the hotel in the middle of the summer! It is definitely not a 5 star hotel!

The hotel was nice and, what's most important, clean. The facilities were very good. The location is amazing - close to the metro.

The staff were quite rude. While I understand that they had to accommodate a big group and it was quite late, this is no excuse for the rude manner with which I was welcomed.

Not clean, and smelly. we had two suites in one suite the phone wasn't working at all and till our check out the phone was like that, and if we called room service, out of 5 calls they would respond to none. All in all the service wasn't what you expected from a 5-star hotel. Disappointed!!!

The location is great! I can't argue with that. Great choices of restaurants on the property is a big plus.

The room was outdated, for the money I spent there, it just wasn't worth it. Parking is separate from the hotel. There is discount for guests, but still heavily overpriced. They didn't even replenish coffee or toilet paper, after we asked...

The rooms have definitely improved from last years.

The male staff in the evening was incredibly rude and it just ruins the whole experience of the stay. If it is a five star hotel, I expect staff to be friendly and customer service oriented. The staff before was much better.

The garden and restaurants

The staff have no training , the doorman standing outside smoking cigarette with another employee reluctantly asking if you need help with your luggage. Dirty carpet in the room, hard mattress, couch seat size pillows, lumpy blankets. There was a wedding in the banquette hall on the first floor, they played techno music till 4:30 a.m , could hear and feel the vibrations on the 16th floor.

Great hotel; amazing cigar room.

The car park staff are very rude and cheeky. They charged us extra for 1 hour even though we were hotel guests. When we stated this, he became very hostile and did not refund. Hotel couldnt do anything either and we had to pay an extra 15 euros for no reason.
