Overpriced.

Pros: Location. Concierge staff. Cons: Price at festival time. ‘Suggested’ pre-charge of 5% to cover service we hadn’t yet experienced. Put me right off the place, unfortunately!

Schlechtestes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, das wir je erlebt haben.

Pros: Alle Restaurants waren toll, wir haben sowohl das Nachtessen im Number One, wie das Frühstück sehr genossen. Cons: Das Zimmer war eine grosse Enttäuschung, für 1400 SFR war es das schlechteste Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, das wir je erlebt haben. Das Zimmer war recht klein mit Blick an eine Hausmauer. Das Zimmer hatte keinen Charme, nichts historisches, es sah aus, wie ein Businesshotel. Im Badezimmer schaute noch ein Kabel aus der Wand. Die Klimaanlage war sehr laut und stank nach Essen, die Fenster liessen sich nicht öffnen.
