"Location is superb"
Pros: Location is superb.
Cons: The suite we booked was not available due to building work. we were downgraded to a premium room, and yet the price charged was almost the same. no swimming pool, sauna, rooftop terrace, bar nor complete gym due to building work. we were advised of this 4 days before we arrived by which time it was too late to book an alternative hotel. very annoyed and hotel was relatively unconcerned.
Pros: Nice hotel in great location.
Cons: Hotel was under refurbishment during my stay which meant that the pool and sky bar were closed, and building work started at 8am every day!
Cons: Only one, and that was that dinner was not served on sunday nights. room service, however, was excellent, as was the food.
