The room was clean and the hotel was nice. The lighting in the room was very dark though. Our room was also unfortunately positioned by the street and it was very loud at night. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and the staff was polite.

Room fine with harbour/mountain view. Flipside was that various ships docked overnight right below the hotel. These ships all had some kind of generator on board which made quite a lot of noise all night. I know this has nothing to do with the hotel as such but just a heads up that choosing a room with City view is probably better for some.

4/10 Fair

Checked into a room that had another persons hair in the bed and toiletries in the shower. I went to the front desk and requested the room be cleaned. A few hours later returned to hotel and room had not been cleaned. I spoke with the front desk and manager who stated they would send up housekeeping. Half of my stay was spent in a room that was not properly cleaned. I should have checked in across the street after the first request for housekeeping was not completed.

Udsigten fra værelset og hotellets beliggenhed var intet mindre end fantastisk – helt klart opholdets største styrke og noget, der i sig selv er anbefalelsesværdigt. Desværre blev helhedsoplevelsen trukket markant ned af flere forhold. Ved check-in oplevede vi et personale, der var alt andet end imødekommende. Vi ankom lidt før tid og fik at vide, at vi kunne betale for at checke ind tidligere – hvilket i sig selv er fair nok – men måden det blev formidlet på, kunne have været venligere. Også i restauranten blev vi mødt af et surt personale. Vi ville bestille noget at spise, mens vi ventede på indcheckning, men blev bedt om at gå, da en virksomhed tilsyneladende havde højere prioritet end almindelige gæster. Super. Værelset var lidt beskidt, og sengen var alt for blød. Alt i alt vil jeg dog gerne anbefale hotellet for den helt suveræne udsigt og beliggenheden. Men kom ikke før officiel indtjekning starter, og vær forberedt på, at både seng og rengøring kan skuffe - og at du prioriteres lavere end virksomheder.
