I stayed here during the Formula 1 weekend, so it was a challenging and busy time for the hotel, with some of the teams staying there. However service did not seem to suffer and the hotel coped well - no long waits for taxis, drinks, or meals either. I stayed in a suite, which is in the newer Residence tower... More

We stay here on a regular basis and its always nice,. I would recommend just having room service for breakfast as the buffet is over priced,.the restuarant by the pool was nice for lunch and drinks at night. I had tuna with gnocchi which I really enjoyed

Stayed here for 4 nights after abandoning a previously booked hotel due to mostly internet connectivity issues. The change was a breeze resulting in a very comfortable room, a very good gym, and a very nice terrace area to sit in the night.

Great hotel with a friendly and helpfull staff. Excellent restaurants and a cooling dip in the pool is to recommend after a long day or in the early morning. Room is comfortable and clean. The morning restaurant has a variety of dishes, but price maybe in the upper level. Spa area is also to recomend for a relaxing good time.... More

Good location (abt. 15 minutes from the airport), easy and friendly check-in. Rooms are specious, well equipped, look very clean, comfortable bed, and all-around good service. Would highly recommend it (and that does not happen often). Only "neutral" observation: as with most hotels, restaurant prices are not cheap, but an excellent selection from the buffet makes up for this. Also... More
