staff was helpful and it was great service for 3 days breakfast
Good location and friendly service staff. Some issues with getting warm water and getting breakfast table which was inefficient causing queues - surprising in a five star hotel
Nice hotel..very modern. Beds a little too soft for us. Good location 10 mins from St Stephen’s! Parking underneath in caged locked area..very secure !
Stylish, modern, and perfectly located. The view from the room was amazing, and the rooftop restaurant is a must-visit. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it!
