More like a 5 star hotel!

I was shocked that this hotel is a 3 star hotel because it seems like a 4 or 5 star. Excellent service, super friendly staff so clean, spacious apartment and very modern/beautiful. Also in a really good location very close to the restaurants.

We stayed for two nights. The hotel feels new and the rooms are spotless and spacious. Easy to walk a few blocks to the waterfront train station and historic center. Kitchen was well equipped. We were in top floor one bedroom with nice balcony sitting area and peek views of the water. A very comfortable stay.

What a great hotel and exceptional staff! Everything was clean and new due to some recent remodeling. Our room was perfect with a loaded kitchenette. The only negative I would say is the small bathroom sink with disproportionately large faucet that made it difficult to wash your face or lean into the sink. Everything is within walking distance as well.

100% recommend this place!

Our one night stay was last minute due to missing our train. We just picked the closest hotel to the train station but oh my, what an amazing place it turned out to be! This is a little gem hidden away down a back street. Huge one bedroom apartment with fridge, microwave and hob, and a rainforest shower that truly lived up to its name. The bedroom bed is massive and extremely comfortable, as is the double sofabed in the lounge. There is a lovely private terrace from which to watch the world go by, and a little restaurant 2 minutes away which offers in house dining or takeaway meals which are beautifully packaged. Free coffee, tea or chocolate is available in the hotel breakfast room and beyond that a seating area with outdoor jacuzzi that is the size of a small swimming pool. The staff were all very welcoming and efficient, the whole place was immaculate and if we weren't already booked in elsewhere we would have happily stayed there for our entire trip!

What a fantastic hotel. The place looks brand new. We had room 43 which is on the top floor and is a self contained apartment with the convenience of a hotel reception. Full kitchen and fridge and large balcony with city views. Very near train and bus station and short walk to town. 5 Star review. Well done.

Love thisnplace. Its more of an apartment than a hotel. Has a kitchenette, dishwasher, microwave, hair dryer, blender etc. . Its a self catering apartment. And the breakfast box was enough for 2. . less than 5mins walk to the marina, bones chapel, bus station and Forum mall. i rate it 10/10. spent 2 nights, and it was worth it for the price
