Great location and nice hotel but not a 5 star. The concierge and doorman were the best staff members, very helpful and nice but others we interacted with were not great, especially in the bar and restaurant. The spa and thermal waters were nice but very crowded.

The spa was lovely and the room upgrade for my birthday was very appreciated. However, room service had limited choice and overpriced for the amount of food in the salmon salad.
