I enjoyed my stay here and for the fee, there would be hard to get a better place. The common areas are exceptional, the fitness center is way above average (like a quality university facility) and the spa quite nice. I used the gym, I had a treatment at the SPA, and I dinned in a) the main restaurant, 2) the smaller coffee shop, and 3) the Japanese restaurant.
The place is BIG and it will take a little getting used to the layout, but getting disoriented is fun there as again the common rooms are so beautiful.
The room, it was good. The way it was presented here in expedia is not what I witnessed when checking into my room. I emphasize that it was more than acceptable. Hot water (as hot as you can tolerate), quiet, like an upscale spacious dorm at a posh university BUT Im not sure Id want that to change as if it did the fee would certainly also double. I would not let the room discourage you UNLESS you spend a lot of time in the room and want this "posh" vibe. Then a modern 5 star is best.
The location is fun. Not ideal, but fun. I discovered the water canal system taxis which is abut 200m from the front door and I used it daily so got familiar with the B12 fee ride into more of the heart of the city. At night there is not a lot happening around the hotel itself, including local restaurants, and the transportation from the main door is up a bit as they know people leaving here will pay. I don't want to leave on a negative actually - this place is very decent. Try!
