"Un bel endroit"

Une déco atypique et très sympa Un personnel très souriant et attentif

Un petit bémol sur les horaires du restaurant annexé à l’hôtel où le dîner au plus tard à 18h30 est un peu tôt pour les Français

"Amazing gem on Thesen island"

10.0

Fantastic hotel in the perfect location. Well appointed and stocked. Lots of tea/coffee etc. Complimentary beers and waters. Great friendly staff where nothing was too much effort!

Breakfast vouchers should be higher to include a meal and coffee/beverage. Especially when dining at il de Pain option as the meals are pricy.

Beautiful hotel, lovely design and great restaurants in the building.

The bathroom in 5A wasn’t really a bathroom but a shower in the room.
