"The area around the hotel was very noisy from an early time each morning. I became sick and needed a taxi to a doctor at the train station. The staff was unhelpful, assuring me no taxi would take me such a short distance. I could not stand up. I asked about an Uber and they suggested I try that. Unfortunately, the hotel WiFi was down. They did not care. I hobbled outside to city WiFi and caught an Uber. When I returned, my key card did not work. I asked for a new one at the front desk and was asked for my ID. Isn't in a lobby chair to find it and couldn't get up. Some time later the desk clerk took mercy and brought me a working key. I could not call the front staff caring or helpful."

"My stay wasn’t perfect but the way the hotel and housekeeping were able to assist was amazing. Although they need to clearly state that the rooms are partly accessible by lift and the rest stairs. As this led to problems due to mobility challenges, other than this i would recommend the hotel for the thoughtfulness and advanced utilities."

"The concierge staff and housekeeping staff were exceptional. However, when we attempted to eat at the Juliett restaurant, we sat at our table for 20 or 25 minutes without even being offered a glass of water. As a result, we looked for meals outside of the hotel, which we would not have done otherwise."

"We stayed in the panorama suite - truly one of the best rooms we’ve ever stayed in. Views were absolutely incredible, the room is designed immaculately and it had so many amazing features (steam shower, jacuzzi bath, walk in closet). Aside from the room the lobby / bar areas of the hotel are stunning with the same beautiful views of the mountains. The ability to have direct access to the water is great. Getting into the center of the city is very easy via bus. I really hope I get the chance to stay here again."
