We loved the beautifully designed, modern hotel with stylish rooms that had nice toiletries, sheets, and an espresso maker. The staff were attentive and quick to service our needs, going above and beyond by upgrading us to a deluxe suite. The breakfast was fabulous, and we enjoyed the central location of the hotel, close to all the attractions. The on-site bakery was amazing, and we found the hotel to be clean with great facilities.
Hard to think of anything, but maybe more warm food options for breakfast.
We had a fantastic stay in this hotel. It was in a great location, allowing us to conveniently get everywhere in this city without robbing our wallet. The hotel was very close to the Old Harbour, which was perfect for exploring. The cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable, and we were impressed with the facilities provided.

Nothing, it was perfect.
The hotel had clean and modern appointed rooms with a comfortable bed, a little fridge, and a coffee maker. The cleaning service was excellent, ensuring the room was always very clean. The staff were friendly and always had a smile when we walked in. The location of this hotel was fantastic, being really close to the center of town and only a few minutes walk from restaurants. Additionally, the hotel had handy underground parking and offered views across the harbor and mountains.
All good.
We loved the cleanliness of the hotel, it was spotless throughout our stay. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a gym and in-house bakery and bar.
