The hotel has two nice pools and lounge decks. The hotel is close to many amenities, shops, restaurants and bars. This helped.
The room decor seemed tired. Nothing was particularly charming. The telephone in the room was not clean, and i did not touch it.

Really good Stay with Fine Views

spacious roomscity viewavailable sunbedsgreat selection
I found the rooms spacious, located on the 17th floor, offering a city view. The pools always had available sunbeds (even in the afternoon). Breakfast provided a great selection, assuring seating even during peak times. The hotel's pub was my favorite restaurant because of the great food and staff.
I must mention that the gym equipment was basic, with two bikes and a cross-trainer of average quality.
