Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were comfortable, although a bit musty, and the bathroom was spacious and well-appointed. However, the towels never seemed to dry due to the high moisture levels. Being close to the night life entrance to the roof club made it a bit noisy at times.
The hotel offered comfortable and unique rooms but suffered from darkness, especially facing the noisy elevator to the roof. On the bright side, the rooms were exceptionally cozy.
I had a great time at this hotel! The rooftop bar was a plus, even though the view wasn't the best. The service was generally friendly with Michael, the restaurant manager, standing out. The location was excellent, close to the pier and plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops. The dining experience was satisfactory but could have been better considering the type of hotel. Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor drawbacks.
