dated ambiance

The record player in the room was a unique touch, providing an enjoyable listening experience, and the plunge pool was a standout feature that made the stay feel luxurious. The gym offered an impressive setup, perfect for serious workouts. However, the pool and spa area felt a bit cramped, and the dining options could have had a wider variety. The location was great, but the ambiance in the common areas felt a little dated.

Couple vacation experience gone a bit south

The heated pool and spa area was very nice after a long journey, just what we needed to recharge. The decor around the hotel really struck me, a modern vibe that felt fresh and interesting.

It wasn't exactly cheap, but considering the amenities, I guess it was somewhat okay.

tight room

limited dining options

The fresh bites at Sophie’s made my taste buds dance, and the hot pool was a total gem, perfect after a long day of exploring. Plus, the staff were absolute legends, always ready with a smile.

Room was tight with no wardrobes, just a bar to hang clothes that felt a bit cluttered. Also, both Peig's bar and Elephant and Castle were closed when I arrived, which was a letdown after a long trip.

busy service

The hospitality was impressive, especially how the staff handled a busy rooftop restaurant environment. The food was incredible, and the views were breathtaking. However, the room was pretty small, which made it a bit challenging for two people with luggage. Overall, the atmosphere and decor were delightful, making our stay enjoyable.
