4/10 Fair

Avoid
Upgraded to a premium room with king size bed……what we got was 2 single beds pushed together and 2 single duvets! On the 19th floor with great views…until the nightclub on the 20th floor kicks In until 1am every night. Prices on drinks lists were different to the bill, so check all your receipts before you pay! Espresso martinis advertised at €11 and charged at €12. Restaurants closed on Saturday and Sunday nights to residents. Stay at a lot of hotels and this was not one of the worst but wouldn’t stay here again.

Nice bar and basic rooms.
Staying there for two nights was fine. The location is great, but the room is very basic and needs updating.

Incredible hotel. Love the location and views. Was it worth 470. Per night? Not really. No complimentary anything with that at all and it was my birthday. Oh well. Still a lovely hotel.

4/10 Fair

Construction was going on above our room for two hours after we arrived, exceptionally loud. The room was exceedingly hot and the air conditioner also was quite noisy. Staff provided us with a room fan during the night. The view was amazing, but we had to keep the curtains closed in the morning due to the sun shining into the hot room. The breakfast buffet was superb, and we also enjoyed our dinner in the hotel .
