Pros: stylish rooms. Super convenient location. Good facilities. Friendly staff Cons: checkin a bit chaotic and key information not given. Hotel tricky to navigate (especially if not explained at check-in) and has to wander around to find key facilities. Pool cold and limited access to sun. Pool deck area open to public access and glass bottom/sides of pool means you are ‘on display’ to those in the bar/restaurants below. Information in room on iPad or tv too focussed on ‘copy-writing and branded narrative’ and missed key information (where are pools, what time are they open etc).
