Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a lively stay with live music, clean rooms, and accommodating service. However, it is situated above venues that can be noisy at night. Overall, a vibrant option in a convenient location.
I had a fantastic experience at this hotel! The rooms were super clean and seemed newly renovated, with a very comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom. The staff accommodated our request to linger and enjoy live music without any issues, and they were very helpful in explaining everything to us. The location was perfect, right across from the light rail stop and close to some well-known restaurants in town. However, being above a nightclub that was loud until 3 am was a slight downside. The dining included was a nice touch, with tasty beef dishes. Overall, a great stay with excellent service and amenities.
The hotel is ideally located above a lively pub that plays DJ music until late on Fridays, right in the city center. The rooms are tight but feature a cozy bed and a nice bathroom. The service was exceptional, accommodating our request to enjoy live music without inconveniencing other guests. The hotel is surrounded by well-known restaurants and directly opposite the Crown St tram station.
The hotel is perfectly located, just across from the light rail stop and to some of the town's best restaurants. The rooms were sparkling clean and newly renovated, offering a nice balcony to enjoy. The service was exceptional, making our stay even more enjoyable. However, some noise from the pub below could affect light sleepers, and the bathroom was a bit small.
The hotel was super clean and seemed to be newly renovated, offering a big fridge, nice bathroom, and a lovely balcony. The service was excellent, accommodating our request to linger and enjoy live music without compromising access for other guests, and explaining everything to us. The location was superb, close to some well-known restaurants, situated by the river, and conveniently across the road from the light rail Crown Street stop. The dining experience included traditional Greek products. Two of the major highlights were the above a pub that plays DJ music until 2 am on a Friday night and being just next to Crowne St tram & walking distance to restaurants.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, with a small balcony and a good bathroom. The fridge was spacious, and everything seemed newly renovated. The service was exceptional, accommodating our requests and providing helpful explanations. The location is very central, close to various restaurants and the ferry. However, the noise from the pub downstairs could be bothersome on certain nights. The dining experience was pleasant, with tasty homemade products. Overall, a great value for money.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean and comfortable with a small balcony, the ventilation was lacking. The service was exceptional, accommodating our request to linger and enjoy live music without inconveniencing others. Although the location was convenient with access to public transport and close to the beach, being directly above a pub playing DJ music until late on weekends was a downside. The dining with included grilled seafood was a nice touch, but the facilities were somewhat limited.
