I didn't stay at the hotel but I just came to relax and have a drink in the evening at the bistrot. I had a strawberry smoothie, while my mom got a ginger-infused cocktail. The drinks were good, nothing special, but pretty overpriced especially considering how small they were. My mom's drink did come in a small can but the can was basically filled with giant ice cubes. I also had a glance at their bistrot menu and pretty much all the food items, even salads, were 20€+.
The ambience was pleasant in their little courtyard furnished with chic, modern decor. However there is no grass and the floor is tiled so I imagine it would be very hot around noon when the sun isn't covered by the buildings.
The service was mediocre, which surprised me because in my past experiences at other mandarin orientals the service has always been superb. Overall, I can't speak for the hotel as a whole, but the cafe/bar was, in my opinion very average yet pricey. So although the location was nice, I probably wouldn't go again. read more
