We have stayed at this hotel before and were delighted to see the renovations. The rooms are nicely decorated and we were happy with how things looked. The gal on the front desk is a gem. She’s so sweet. The rooftop bar is a must see. The view is incredible. The breakfast is one of the best we have ever encountered.

The location was spectacular and the staff were very friendly and helpful arranging my taxi for the following day to the airport. We also had dinner on the rooftop with live music. The food was delicious and the performance was top notch. We also loved how we could walk everywhere and not worry about driving.

It’s opposite the Marina and within walking access to the Old town. The train and bus stations are a short walk away. This made the stay convenient. We got a bottle of wine as part of the hotels.com reservation which was great. We went for the half board option expecting a buffet for dinner but instead we had a three course meal which far outweighed the costs of the half board deal. Bed, pillows and room was comfortable. Good bathroom with toiletries. Also got a free bottle of still and sparkling water. Great deal overall!
