Many guests appreciate the hotel's central location, which offers convenient access to the harbour, the beach, and city attractions. The rooms are often described as spacious, with some upgraded rooms providing magnificent sea views overlooking the harbour and the castle; some rooms include both a bedroom and a study. The restaurant, located on the 26th floor, enhances the dining experience with even better views, although some guests have mentioned occasional noise from the air conditioning. Breakfast is generally well-received for its great selection.

city center retreat

city centerrooftop barbreakfast selection
the location was wonderful, placing me right in the heart of the city, steps from the promenade and the sea. the rooftop bar provided fine views of the castle and the surrounding area, a perfect spot for an evening drink. i found the breakfast selection excellent, with a wide array of choices, including fresh fruit, baked goods, and hot dishes.
There were only two for all 26 floors, often resulting in a wait, especially during peak hours.

The location was excellent! it was right on the main strip and near the beach. i found bus stops just outside. This made transportation easy. the breakfast was very good, it offered many choices. the staff brought dessert to the room, because it was my boyfriend's birthday.
The bathroom was a bit small. It was still usable. i also found that the air conditioning was rather noisy.
