Die Lage ist TOP, aber der Service katastrophal. Wir hatten das Zimmer 714 gebucht und empfehlen es durchaus aufgrund der Aussicht. Das Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis stimmt nicht überein. Das Geld hat nur die Aussicht verdient und nicht der Service. 27 CHF für ein Frühstück das garnicht dem durchschnittlichen Frühstück entspricht. Zudem mussten wir mehr als eine halbe Stunde auf das Frühstück warten. Das Abendessen entsprach auch nicht einer 5 Sterne Hotel Küche. Hoffe daas Sie bald möglicht den Service wie auch die Küche verbessern, denn sınst wird es sehr schade für das Hotel.

Nice but overly priced

Very expensive and over priced hotel. $40 dollars for 2 gin and tonics is ridiculous. Food was also vastly over priced. Better to walk along the sea front towards the mosque where you get excellent value for money. Impossible to regulate the water temperature in the shower, red hot or freezing cold. Also the 60cm step to get into the bath / shower may be a bit too much for elderly persons. Hotel had no information on travel to the grand prix circuit. Staff were excellent though and cant be faulted. If you want to pay this money for a hotel then better you go to the four seasons hotel just along the road.

Das Hotel an und für sich war gut. Über das Wochenede ist es zu laut da direkt daneben ein Club ist und viel Verkehr ist. Schade dass die Terasse nicht offen war da sie Renoviert wurde. Hätte Angemerkt werden sollen. Wollte den Hochzeitstag mit einem Essen da feiern. Zimmer war sauber aber könnte eine Auffrischung brauchen. Farbe hängt schon von der Decke im Badezimmer. Over all ok.

Hyvä hotelli mainiolla sijainnilla

Pros: Siisti ja hyvä palvelu
Ystävällinen vastaanotto . Palvelua heti ulko-ovella . Huone siisti Aamupala todella hyvä ja monipuolinen . Ainoa miinus on myöhäinen sisäänkirjautuminen alkaen vasta kello 15:00
