    Car parking below was ample, but with 3 zones at different rates with different payment methods, was confusing & expensive. Hotel should Madjeski clear which. & how to use

    Towels and shower could be a lot better and is not what you expect from a five star hotel at this price range. Also there is no turndown service.

    Hotel is very beautiful, the spa is a plus! Staff if great!

    Staff at reception not helpful and kind of pressing and rude. They tried to upgrade our stay in a pressing way. Rooftop bar was not as the rest of the hotel, seemed a little bit neglected.

    lighting was great and very functional. design and switches smartly designed. Nice bathroom, clean and functional. Staff at bars and restaurants really helpful and kind

    Fantastic hotel, friendly staff, roof top bar was a bit disappointing, the Lobby Bar was excellent

    The roof top bar was very disappointing. The views are definitely worth it, but the faculty was dirty, gross carpet, food all over it. The furniture definitely needs to be replaced. The chair I sat in was so worn that there were places where the padding was showing. Although the music was nice it was just TOO LOUD! My husband and I couldn’t even talk to each other without raising our voices, so we left. Very disappointing.

    Breakfast was delicious! The Lobby bar was our favorite. Staff there were very friendly and taught us about Icelandic gin and vodka! That was fun! Valet parking was a breeze and the front desk 100% there for all our needs! The Easter egg delivered to our room was a class act and very yummy too! Thank you for that!

    A pleasant enough stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • King Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Service was friendly and polite from all staff we encountered (reception, valet, housekeeping, restaurant), but not at all proactive in the restaurant: we had to ask for service each time, no one checked on us e.g. to ask if the food was OK or if we wanted more drinks, and it took a long time to catch anyone's attention even though there were at least 3 or 4 staff members walking around. There were only 2 other tables occupied in the entire restaurant so it seemed that staff were using the quiet time to focus on admin tasks (e.g. stock taking) rather than service. We also found the food to be of fairly average quality and opted not to dine in the hotel again. Although it was a nice hotel in a great location, I didn't feel that we received value for money and I would opt to stay elsewhere on my next visit.

    The hotel is in a great location near the harbour and close to shops and restaurants. The decor was aesthetically pleasing, the rooms were a good size and the bed was comfortable (although I found the chair in the room extremely uncomfortable to sit in). The shower was great and I particularly appreciated the underfloor heating in the bathroom! On checking out I noticed a discrepancy on the bill (a minibar item we hadn't consumed) and it was removed from the total without hesitation.
