We had trouble getting into our room due to a late arrival and a non functional key but I have forgiven this fact due to the wonderful service we received the next morning at breakfast. Beautiful location, would definitely return.

Very good impression! Mostly impressed by the Wi-Fi internet speed: 192 Mbit/s..! And free and unlimited! Never ever I have observed such a lightning quick Internet connection! Other than that the hotel is good: Modern rooms, contemporary decorated, especially bathrooms. Maybe slightly overpriced.. Breakfast is a la carte, which I prefer, not the open buffet (as usually the case with many hotels)....
