10/10 Excellent

Very convenient location and central to all areas we were wanting to see. Very friendly and helpful staff that provided fabulous guidance to restaurants and areas to visit.
Jules, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

It’s a great location to stay in! Walkable distance to all the spots you want to visit and close to bus stops if you’re traveling a little bit further out. Very clean and relaxing room. 5 min taxi ride to the terminal.
Stanley, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic location. Unique hotel right above famous Harry’s bar. The only tip I would give the management is to make sure your room safes are permanently fixed to something - ours was not and could easily have been picked up and removed.
JAMES, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

All the staff from checking in to our room to departure were amazing, supper friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was very clean. Our room was like a suit and we had an unexpected complimentary bottle of Prosecco on arrival ( nice touch) and the complimentarys kept coming with fresh fruit the next day. Would highly recommend a stay here.
