Good but room for easy improvements

Nice Hotel, lovely rooms , friendly reception staff and breakfast staff good breakfast , great location . Lovely Rooftop pool but was let down by a young man running it that clearly needs training on the service and approach you expect of a 5 star hotel . As an example I ordered a drink and his first response was how are you paying for that , Lovely! . Just made us feel like an inconvenience in general the couple of days we visited and didn’t treat anybody any differently. I would also suggest they try a put a bit of vibrancy the hotel , no background music by the pool and the bar was literally empty every night. Both these experiences would put us off staying again

You need a torch when you stay at this hotel

The hotel was ok. The staff were friendly and informative. However, the lighting in both the room and about the hotel was dreadful. I had to choose a breakfast table beneath a spotlight to see my breakfast- not good at all. Why was everywhere so dim?

Nice hotel but loud nightclub next door

There is a nightclub (not prt of the hotel) playing loud music until 4 am on Saturday morning. This made sleeping very difficult. The staff were fantastic. Attention to detail on room cleaning could be improved. The free mini bar was appreciated. Nice views from the rooftop.

Great central property, within easy walking distance to restaurants, parks and shopping areas. They offered one of the best breakfast buffets I have had in a hotel, lovely touches in room over the Christmas period. Room was well appointed, but bathroom showing a bit of wear and tear. The shower pressure was great though. Most of the reception staff were friendly. The restaurant attached to the hotel was really nice. Overall, a great stay and would come back again.

Great hotel, dedicated and very professional service from staff, and location is perfect. The only cont is parking, there is not at the hotel, and only options are public parking on the street (very difficult to get one spot), or some garage parking few blocks from the hotel. Overall great hotel

4/10 Fair

Failing on a few levels - not recommended sadly.

Unfortunately not such a good stay. The hotel just isn’t 5* on many levels. We had issues with the noise at the hotel, being located on a little street with a very loud bar a few doors down which made a lot of noise until 04:00 on a Thursday night. Not the hotels fault per se but they were aware of it and should have let us know or offered another room. We arrived at breakfast at 10:00 to find scraps of food and a really poor collection of food. Quality and variety was lacking for a supposed 5* hotel. Coffee was self served on a machine that was not good at all. We upgraded to a suite, no bath, a small sofa… really no point in upgrading at all. Some of the staff were lovely, as is often the case on the island. Some were less engaging and interested. There is no parking available at, or near, the hotel. 10 minute walk away.

10/10 Exceptional

We were very irritated with the parking situation. There is no onsite parking. Upon checking in we were given two public locations that we can use which were roughly a quarter a mile away. There were no in and out privileges. The parking venue operating hours weren’t convenient for us as we had an early departure flight. Street parking was limited and during our stay, we never found a spot. They were either reserved or occupied. We contemplated moving to another location, but after realizing the Christmas Market was just around the corner, this more than made up for the parking issue and stayed. We did cut our stay one day as we had no access to our car due to the parking operating hours. We would not have been able to return our car before our flight home. The hotel is beautiful in a very beautiful surrounding area. There are convenient dining options and one was recommended by a hotel staff which we enjoyed. The hotel served delicious breakfast with so many options accommodating various palate. Most of all, the staff is top notched. Despite being annoyed with the parking issue, my husband and I ended up loving this hotel and plan to return to this hotel with other family members. If you do stay in this area, ditch the car. It’s just a headache to have one. Taxis are available to distant sites for reasonable rates. In fact, we did not need our car until the last day.

8/10 Very good

Definitely a nice hotel with a lot of amenities offered. Location is right outside the seaside and walkable to the CR7 museum and the cable car. The only reason why I gave 1-star short of full star is that the parking is actually at the hotel of close to the hotel. There are 3 parking solutions given 1) close to the cable car station 2) parking at the Plaza Forum and 3) street parking. The only one that is “close” to the hotel is street parking and given you are in the city it’s actually quite hard to navigate and get to the street parking. The other indoor parking facilities is not 24/7. Some days it actually closes and also a bit of a walk away from the hotel so if you have luggage or other items that can’t be rolled on wheels it may take a few steps to get from parking to hotel. Otherwise it’s a good hotel, very posh. But I definitely wouldn’t say “parking is available” at this hotel because it’s 1) far away and 2) not 24/7 accessible.
