This is a great place to stay. The location is excellent and the bar and dining rooms are open long hours and are very comfortable. I don t know that it s truly a 5-star hotel, however. The spa and fitness room are very disappointing. The food is decent, but I expected better. The menu is small, which I generally prefer, but I would have liked to have seen more variety if not creativity. I would say the cuisine is Austrian influenced more than anything. I would ve liked to have seen a few Greek and Turkish / Mediterranean influenced choices. The desserts were very good and the breakfast buffet excellent. Don t bother ordering an omelette. Dishes often arrive barely warm. Service is friendly, but not knowledgeable about food. I was very comfortable here and do recommend it. I think it s a great value. Getting a more creative chef would make a big difference.
