Wow, this hotel was absolutely amazing! The rooms are so unique like in the photos, and they even welcomed me with a bottle of fabulous white wine, cheese crackers, and chocolates. I was impressed by how well soundproofed the room was, allowing me to sleep peacefully without any street noise. The room was exceptionally clean, spacious, with a super comfy bed, and excellent A/C.

Oh, let me tell you about this hotel! The rooms are simply stunning inside with a lovely view of the harbour, and they even had a bottle of fabulous white wine, cheese crackers & chocolates waiting for us. The theme of the hotel adds to the charm, and the view of the old harbour is equally stunning. The service, although really nice and friendly, apologized for the discomfort and lack of sleep caused and offered some compensation voluntarily. The location is superb, almost adjacent to the museum, and the amenities are excellent. The dining experience, set in a very elegant hotel with a contemporary twist, was one of our favorites!
