Rooms were spacious and stylish. The spa facilities were very new and worked well. The property does not have parking so it collaborates with a parking in front of the hotel. However their prices are more than 3 times more expensive than the local parking, which is available in the surroundings of the hotel and easy to pay for through the parking app, so if you have a longer stay you might want to consider it.
