Design Apartment im interessanten 5 Sterne Hotel mit Eigenheiten

8.0

Zunächst mal: die Servicekräfte waren allesamt sehr freundlich, entgegenkommend und kompetent. Der Empfang war herzlich und wir wurden ins Zimmer begleitet, wo man uns die Technik erklärt hat. Das Design der Zimmer ist ausserordentlich, für Designfans ein echtes Erlebnis. Die Atmosphäre im Haus ist einzigartig, man kann auch die Kunst geniessen, die dem Gast allerorts begegnet. Angenehm auch, dass die Zimmer grosszügige und voll ausgestattete Wohnungen sind, und man trotzdem die Annehmlichkeiten eines Hotels nutzen kann.

− Es handelt sich um ein 5 Sterne Hotel, der Preis ist entsprechend hoch. Da hätte ich die Erwartung, dass das Interieur gepflegter ist und die chice Designerwohnung auch technisch den Anforderungen eines Hotelbetriebs gewachsen ist.. Konkret bemängele ich die offensichtlich fehlende Lüftung in dem innenliegenden Bad. Es riecht muffig. Der Boden der Designerdusche aus Edelstahl wackelt bei betreten. Die Klobrille und die Bidetbrille sind offensichtlich aus Holz und die Lackierung dilettantisch und fehlerhaft, die Oberfläche nicht glatt und daher m.E. unhygienisch. Bei den Maßeinbauten in Hochglanz hat die Oberfläche schon arg gelitten. Die Fenster sind nicht schalldicht, der Verkehr dröhnt Tag und Nacht. Ohrstöpsel empfohlen. Die Designersessel am Esstisch sind mit einfarbigem Stoff bezogen. Es waren Flecken zu sehen, und die Nähte zum Teil aufgeplatzt. Das Frühstück, welches im Apartment eingenommen wird, ist m.E. sehr zuckerlastig. Ein Teeangebot hätte ich mir auch gewünscht. Wir hatten Appartment Nr. 3

Guest review

4.0

− We stayed on the third floor. We could hear very loud music from the rooftop terrace mixed with music from inside the hotel until midnight. The breakfast we paid for was delivered to our room. It was two croissants, some toast and yoghurt in the fridge. This was not the breakfast we expected. The hotel has a nice design, but it would be better if the room was also practical and comfortable. I suggest the designer stays in the room for a few days to see what the guest experience is really like.

Ni un hotel, ni una galería ni un restaurante

2.0

Personal

− Además de un hotel, pretenden ser una galería de arte y un restaurante moderno. NO consigue ser ninguna de las 3. La música sonaba continuamente muy alta. Esta puesta durante todo el día en la galería para los clientes que la visitan y en el restaurante, que comienza desde el mediodía y hasta pasadas las 12 de la noche no se para. El sonido que entra en las habitaciones constantemente no te permite descansar ni para la siesta ni por la noche. El desayuno es el peor que he tenido en los últimos años y siendo un 5 estrellas me esperaba otra cosa.

8.0

Bis auf das Frühstück war alles perfekt! Ein Frühstück im klassischen Sinne gibt es nicht. Wir haben Zwieback, Butter und Marmelade bekommen. Dafür, dass wir ein Frühstück gebucht haben war das sehr dürftig.
