    limited gym

    Fine rooftop terrace, elegant poolside experience, high-quality toiletries by Rituals

    The gym hours could use expansion!!! There's also an evident need for more sunbeds at the pool area!!! Lastly, the décor feels quite outdated in some places!!!

    Central position. It's a good breakfast. You can tell by the number of locals on Saturday on the terrace that this is the most fashionable and chic place in town. It's a place to show yourself and see others!...

    The staff were excellent and very helpful - 5 star service in this hotel! Standard of service gets full marks.

    On a weekend night, if you are not a partying type of person, you will nevertheless share the partygoers joy and delight, especially if you like sleeping with the windows open! In other words, it can be bit noisy.
