Staff great; Sky Bar Fantastic; Breakfast Excellent; Gym and Spa Fantastic; Rooms and Hallways in need of renovation but holding up ok. If I had to pick next two renovation projects, get another elevator operational and replace hallway carpets. So much good here but hard to overlook guest areas not aging well.

The Axel was lovely! I have mobility issues and they were very accommodating. My accessable room was comfortable and had handles around the toilet. The only thing that would have been nice is a non slip mat in the shower. The floor got quite slick when it was wet. Otherwise I loved my stay.

Perfect location and great place. Great staff ( Damian was very helpful ). My only challenge was the noise in the building, I was on the 4th floor and the drilling and the banging ( construction) noise during the day was annoying

Overall ok. The breakfast was terrible & extremely over priced at 17 euro. The outside pool was freezing & tiny. The Spa plunge pool (not an indoor pool as shown in pictures & advertised) was supposed to be free for 1 hour per day to guests, but because I could not find my confirmation (from Expedia) for this, it was 20 euros each per day for 1 hour. The shows were great but always very late & never on time with no other entertainment throughout the day. The pool bar opened at lunch time but again never opened on time.
