Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a bustling area with a door separating the rooms from the bar below. The rooms were modern and tastefully decorated, featuring amenities like a TV, soft towels, tea, coffee, and water. Despite being warm, the rooms provided a lovely experience, including a comfortable bed and a walk-in shower. The breakfast served was cooked to perfection.
The hotel has a quirky and spacious room with a beautiful walk-in shower but located up three flights of stairs at the front, making it feel hotter due to the low ceiling. The service is exceptional, with quick assistance even climbing through windows. The location is ideal for city exploration, although in need of a revamp for cleanliness. The dining experience was good overall, but there was a missed service due to the chef; however, the breakfast was satisfying.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were amazing, very clean, comfortable, and offered a great price. The service was top-notch, with the staff being extremely helpful and professional. The location is first-class, though not ideal for those seeking a quiet night's sleep on weekends due to nearby lively bars. The dining experience was overall good, except for a minor issue with a rubbery mushroom. The facilities were excellent, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel had a retro Scandinavian design that was minimalist but comfortable, with clean rooms that were just big enough for a bed and had a small bathroom. Being at the front of the hotel with single glazing, there was some noise from outside. The service was excellent with very friendly and helpful staff. The location was very convenient on the main street close to the cruise terminals, although the noise from the kitchen extraction fan was a downside. The dining experience was great with enjoyable meals. The facilities were satisfactory but could be improved.
