9.4/10 Exceptional! (286 reviews)
The hotel is escellent and well located. Staff is nice, property is sustainable and looks sleek and modern. Confortable bed, great mini bar. Only reason I would NOT stay again is privacy in the bathroom - there is a glass to the room that exposes the WC and the closure is a curtain on the outside of the bathroom only. Even with my GF it is awkward.
