The best location for travelers who choose to join local tours. Bus terminal number 12 is the pick up point for such tours and is situated in front of the hotel. Breakfast is adequate and tasty. Room is comfortable and clean. Probably it is the tallest hotel in the capital area and has very good city and sea view. Hotel staff are very helpful.

We have stayed here twice and been fortunate to stay in a suite. We loved the large room and the view towards the Atlantic Ocean. The staff were very helpful and professional at all times. Our only complaint is that breakfast time is extremely busy and chaotic. We only had breakfast once and it didn’t feel value for money.

Hotel is walkable but it’s just on the edge of the city centre. So it was alot of walking to get down to harbour or shopping areas but doable. For the price point was worth the extra steps. Beds were very firm. Bus stop for tours right outside the hotel. Good breakfast buffet.
