Liked: Staff & service
The staff was generally friendly and accommodating. We had opted for breakfast, which was also very nice and appealing. The only thing we would have preferred differently was if the entire hotel was non-smoking. Although we had a non-smoking room, the hallways were still heavily affected by the smell of smoke from nearby rooms

Great, but
The hotel is comfortable and well-located, but the staff is very slow: in the bar/restaurant and the relaxation area. The breakfast buffet is fantastically fresh and varied and opens at 6am for workers. Thank you very much. The sauna and hammam were cold on the 3 mornings of my stay despite a warning on the first 2 days, I gave up on the 3rd. I bumped into a guy who said "but yesterday afternoon it worked"?! Cool, in that case don't say it's open in the morning! Also: no lights, no towels, no shower gel refills ... in the morning at least, on the women's side. Only 2 charging stations in the room and only on one side of the bed, so not very practical for the computer and 2 phones.
