We stayed one night with dinner and breakfast. Unfortunately there was a long waiting time for our breakfast ( approx 50 mins) Staff apologised about wait time which was fine but when breakfast finally arrived, it was cold which makes me wonder if food was actually ready but just wasnt brought out. We couldn't wait for food to be re cooked as had a train to catch . The serving staff were very attentive but coldness of food spoilt our dining. Doorman Pascal went above and beyond by directing us to our waiting transport some distance from the hotel, excellent customer service.

The service of the hotel staff is excellent. Polite and respectful people. However, we were surprised that the facilities in the room are very old. It is true that the style of the room is vintage, but it looks very old. In addition, the curtains almost fell off when we wanted to lift them. And the last thing: the shower is very simple. There is only a single water pipe from the ceiling and that's it. And this impairs the use of the shower.

This is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in, and I say that despite the fact that it has psychologically scared me for the rest of my life. Have you ever wanted to watch yourself use the bathroom from about ten different angels? I have not. But after staying here, I can genuinely say I’ve seen things I will never forget. EVERY wall (and even parts of the ceiling) in the bathroom are mirrored. I had to take a shower staring at the floor, I was too scared to make eye contact with the dozens of me’s around the room. It was genuinely off putting. I’ve started to have nightmares about myself, watching myself, doing awful things. Looking forward to go back. Lovely staff.
