Opulence! That is the word that came to mind when I think about my week long stay at the hotel.
Let's start with the service. Top shelf! From my arrival I have been treated like I am the only guest in the hotel even though I am not. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They seek you out to greet you and take care of needs you didn't even know you had. When I arrived at the hotel my bags were immediately taken from me. The receptionist brought me to my room and described the hotel, it's many amenities and all the functions of my room. My bags were also already in my room! How did they do that?? At the buffet breakfast the waitress asked me if I had any allergies and proceeded to sit me and then brought me all types of fabulous food. Btw, the cappuccino was incredible and I drank as many as I could throughout my stay. For dinner I chose to order food in one of the few very casual but high end sitting areas. It was like eating a meal in your living room, if you lived in a mansion. The staff is working hard to make sure you enjoy yourself and they make it look and feel inviting and effortless.
Enough on the service....let's talk about the room. One big pain point when I travel is the ability to get a good night sleep because of the beds. The bed is awesome! Very high end sheets, feather duvet, feather pillows, and even a mattress pad to make the bed even more comfortable. Slept like a baby. The room is very well appointed with a daily stocked FREE minibar. Yes, free. It consisted of Belgium chocolate, water and soda. Everyday when I got back to the room it was magically restocked. The bathroom is very nice with a large shower and fog free mirror (nice touch). The room also has a 50" flat screen television (connected my laptop to it easily) and a Bluetooth speaker. While the room is not large, you are eager to get back to your room each night to relax and unwind in style and comfort.
Now for the food.... I spoke already about the service at breakfast. The food itself was very good. What you would expect for 25 euro at a high end hotel, pastries, meats, cheeses, eggs made to order. What sets it apart is the service....and the cappuccino. For dinner I ate in the upstairs bar area in one of the living rooms. I started with a French onion soup. It was very good but the herb butter and bread was awesome. For the main course I had the peppered steak. While the portion was small, as to be expected, it was excellent and cooked to perfection. The chef brought it out to me personally. For desert I had a creme brûlée and of course a cappuccino. Both were excellent.
In summary, I stay at many hotels globally and this one is the best hotel for comfort and service by a long shot. If you can stay here, you won't be disappointed! I sure wasn't.
