This hotel was supposed to be 4 star, the same rating as our hotel in Frankfurt the night before and the same price. Our room at the Westin was twice the size and absolutely impeccable. Our room at the Sablon was small (unlike any of the photos) and was in dire need of basic maintenance. The painted floor was cuffed in many places as were the walls the doors, the skirting boards. The seal in the shower was peeling off. The wardrobe had a chunk missing off a shelf, very visible in a black wardrobe and the carpet was fraying. The heating unit was noisy, I had to wear earplugs to sleep.|Not a good start|The curtains were mercifully thick as the window let in an enormous draught while fully closed. |There was nowhere in the bathroom to put toiletries. The shower was good but the handset could only be attached on the wall horizontally at waist level, not practical. |The bed was comfortable but a feather pillow would have been good. |Lighting in the room was good, an extra light in the wardrobe where the coffee machine was, would have been useful as it was black on black.|Breakfast was nothing special, the staff was attentive but it wasn't worth the €21, very similar to what you would get in an Ibis. Breakfast at the Westin was extraordinary for a similar amount. The dining room in the basement is like a canteen, at best an afterthought, the seats are not comfortable but the worst was the echo in that room, you could hear everything amplified, could not wait to get out. |I think it is time you went and had a look at what a 4 star hotel is really like, this is a very expensive 3 star.
