The room, bathroom and the bed were comfortable and clean. I was a bit surprised the there were no 5V usb sockets in the room. The staff were friendly and efficient. The taxi booking service worked perfectly. The fire alarm went off three times on our second day but were cancelled in a few seconds each time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We only stayed for one night before heading to the airport, and it was perfect for that purpose. The location of the hotel provided everything we needed and more - good eats, good drinks and beautiful views. Our room amusingly looked out onto a tiny turfed, non‑accessible courtyard, and with the curtains open you could see people walking by in the adjacent hallway through the floor‑to‑ceiling windows — quirky, but harmless. We booked the cheapest room at a good rate, so no complaints there. The air conditioning worked well, though the bed wasn’t the most comfortable. If you stay here, you must eat at Casper & Giumbini’s just steps from the hotel — it was perfection. Overall, a convenient and perfectly fine overnight stay.

Room was very comfortable. Probably a bit dated at this stage. TV etc, disappointed with the old fashioned type hairdryer in bathroom but overall a very comfortable sleep. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially a young man Paul who was at reception today and went out of his way to help an elderly relative. Breakfast was standard buffet. Expensive i felt but probably standard rate for hotels these days.
