The staff had such great humor and local knowledge, always happy to help everyone! the quality throughout the whole hotel is really good, from the decor to my room. i must say the staff are amazing. The hotel and atmosphere were wonderful during my recent visit.
Breakfast was very minimal for a five-star hotel. I think it could really do with additional options here, especially pastries and fruit.

The valet parking was quite convenient as I could walk everywhere after parking.
The phone in my room did not work, so I could not contact reception when I needed assistance. The room was also very cold at nearly midnight. I could not adjust the thermostat, and the radiator was unresponsive (this was frustrating).
