It was an amazing hotel.
We stayed in a suite - which had some dilapidated furniture - peeling chairs, sideboards need some care, silicone in shower tray. Air condition vents need a dust. Cleaning staff for room did a minimum. Reception staff not always helpful. These areas need improvement.
However, the bar staff, pool area, food, view from room and location was amazing. The room had great sound proofing from outside events.
It is this reason why we have given a four star.
The service of the staff is excellent. All staff spoke good English and were welcoming. The room was very modern and clean and the mini bar was re-stocked everyday. On the first day whilst waiting for our room to be ready, we were on the roof top by the pool which was lovely. However, the toilets down the spirals staircase next to the roof top bar need significant cleaning and modernisation as it let the hotel down. The breakfast at the hotel was amazing and the piano being played was a nice touch. On our first day after we checked in we went to the Harune restaurant but the staff informed us that the restaurant is closed for a private function however reception did not mention this. The AP senses cocktail bar was lovely for late evening drinks. A good gym at the hotel and complimentary towels. In an amazing location with a short walk to the old town. Plenty of space on the roof top by the pool to relax, lounge and eat food. A good stay and I would come back!!
The hotel is conveniently set by the harbour and within easy walking distance to the old town, shops, bars and restaurants. The hotel itself is super clean, friendly staff and offering a lovely rooftop bar for the perfect sunset views. Good breakfast buffet accompanied by a piano player, rooms cleaned daily, we will definitely by returning.
Very nice hotel. Rooftop pool is great for sunbathing and having a drink with a beautiful view. Rooms are nice, had a view over the marina. Staff are friendly.
Well sited hotel, walkable to where we wanted to go. We had a nice room on the fourth floor, with a balcony overlooking the marina and the old town beyond. Rooms in the other wing overlook a nondescript road and would be less desirable. Breakfast was excellent. Staff helpful. The one issue for which I have docked a star is that we had no wifi in our room or on the fifth floor terrace. Wifi in reception was fine. The person I spoke to about this was cagey and said that no-one else had a problem!
Centrallt located with bus and train stations just a two minute walk.Really safe walking around at night loads of places to eat at well below UK prices.
Check in at 2. Room not ready until 320. Cleanliness is an issue. There was dust and dirt everywhere. The pool had bugs and a layer of algae growth ob the sides and in the water. Our room didn't get cleaned the first day (we gave up at 4:30 and just got towels)
Too many staff when you first walk in standing around a desk meant for two at all times just hoovering over. The person Lara Deas at the desk smiled but didnt seemed to happy to greet you. They had the room ready before ck in but wouldnt ck you in or let you know. The bathroom in your room only had body wash with no shampoo or conditioner, so bring your own! Thats just unacceptable for a 4 star hotel. I would never come back here.
We had a great stay in this lovely and modern hotel. The hotel is really central for access to the old town. Breakfast was delicious with lots of options and was unexpectedly included with our booking. The staff were very helpful in accommodating our late check-in (delayed flight) and storing our bags for us on departure day. Would certainly return!
Perfect hotel for a city break, really enjoyed our stay. Room was spacious, super comfy bed, great breakfast buffet. Roof top pool busy but great amenity, gym had great selection of equipment. No complaints!

Nice but noisy!
The hotel has a bar that only closes at 1am. That means there is music pounding throughout the hotel on weekends. The staff are very pleasant, the views are amazing, breakfast is very well done - but it is the noise that spoilt a very pleasant stay
The hotel was very nice, clean, friendly etc.
Staff were very quick to help and service ( bars, restaurants ) was pretty faultless.
I was sure however that I did not get the room that I booked. My booking states a room with a seperate lounge type area, this was not the case, I had a standard double room, although nice, was not what I thought I paid for. I feel a bit cheated into paying for something I didn’t get.

Central location was handy - everything was easy to reach. Staff were very helpful, particularly Reuben who worked on the reception, and managed to get us a reliable taxi for an early flight. Reuben also provided us with a contact card for the company as I was worried about not getting to the airport in time - he went above and beyond to reassure us.
The bed in the room was comfortable, however, in general the room was a bit tired and in need of some renovations. The furniture was older and scuffed and there were lots of water stains in the bathroom.
