Modern hotel, contemporary style. Great breakfast and lovely views at the rooftop, penthouse bar area. The room was too modern for my 80 yr old companion - dim lighting and too much shades of grey and black. Rather "cold" decor, no curtains or carpet - instead metal window shutters ! Housekeeping was average, staff in restaurant and reception were friendly and efficient.

Beautiful property, great location within walking distance to pretty much anything you want. Extremely clean and friendly. We just wish they would’ve had better hours for the spa because it didn’t open until after checkout and we only stayed one night. The suggestion for a 9 AM spa open would be great if anybody else loves to enjoy the spot too. The spa was beautiful, but we didn’t get to enjoy.

Very comfortable beds, bathrooms, loved the coffee machine in the room. The bar/breakfast room on the top floor is spectacular and breakfast delicious with lots on offer. Rooms felt a bit like bunkers, and style overall is quite dark and sultry, not the best option for young children as there isn't really anywhere for them to run around, but recommend for couples/solo travellers.
