Beautifully-decorated lobby, guest rooms, and public spaces; excellent buffet breakfast; clean and modern wellness area with two saunas, steam room, salt room, large pool, and whirlpool. Great location a short walk from the heart of the old town, right across the street from a park and canal.

Morten, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall good experience. Clean, luxurious feeling. Breakfast had plenty of options to choose from. SPA was nice. Very good location. Only small minus i can think of is, the mattress of the bed is quite hard. Was not really a problem for us because we are used to a bit harder beds, but take this into consideration when choosing your hotel - if you like soft beds, this will most likely be a problem for you.

Annette, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very beautiful hotel in a great location and top service. Spacious beautiful rooms. They just need to make a few tweaks to become 10/10. For example a five star hotel of this caliber should have toothpaste and a Espresso machine in the room. The television needs to be updated so the guest can use their own streaming services such as Netflix. Also the spa is almost great. They have everything but the jacuzzi is half warm, the sauna that supposed to be 100 degrees is only 82 etc. Small tweaks and this would be perfect. Staff is already 10/10.

The hotel was immaculately maintained and had a lovely ambience. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was extensive and enjoyable. And most importantly, we enjoyed an excellent night's sleep for each of our two nights stay. Thoroughly recommended.
