This hotel was literally perfect in terms of location. Right across from Harpa bus stop #5. Walking distance to all of downtown and has a beautiful sea view. Room was very clean and bed was comfy. Breakfast was ok. Didn’t have a chance to visit the sky bar or the spa. 10/10 will stay again in the future.

Amazing place to stay

We loved every bit of our stay at this hotel. From check-in to check-out, the staff was very helpful and accommodating. The room itself was quite spacious. The hotel has a few free parking spots just behind the building on a first-come first-serve basis which was a plus! The location of the hotel is unbeatable, right in the center of everything and you can walk everywhere. The hotel also offers a hot tub and sauna for an additional cost but it is so worth it, especially after a long day out, you can get in there and relax! I stayed there with an infant and it was amazing. Overall a great experience!

The location was very convenient for us as it was just across the road from where our cruise ship disembarked. If you use the airport shuttle, the stop is just across the street too. The staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable.

This hotel was lovely! I had a room overlooking the harbour which was absolutely beautiful. Comfortable but compact, and was a little cold, but very liveable. There was an issue with the key card reader when I arrived, but this was sorted quickly with no problem. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location for tours and for exploring the city centre. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Convenient location from drop off points for tour buses and airport shuttle bus (within 50 yards). Two block walk to major shopping and restaurant area. Very good hotel breakfast served in top floor lounge with great views. No other in house dining. Our room was overheated even with system off. Could not turn off bathroom floor heat. Luckily the windows open. We slept with all the windows open but had alot of street noise from passersby after the bars closed. Bathroom tub/shower had a very high step over to get in or out and it had no grab bars.

The hair dryer was broken. The shower in room 317 was totally nonfunctional. It was ridiculous to even think it was usable. We were told our room was an upgrade because the window faced the water. It wasn’t an upgrade. It was a disappointment. Bathroom was so small the shower was nearly impossible to use without making a mess. Recommend people not accepting rooms this size.

Hotel is a bit more like a hostel. Location is good - water and close to downtown shops/restaurants but rooms are small, uninspiring and below average. Breakfast on top floor is very nice, good spread and great views. Their sister hotel on the plaza was surprisingly cheaper and much better looking and location in the heart of town. Looked like a place where adults might stay versus backpackers.
