Very nice locations and rooms

Very nice location and nice big rooms. Nice breakfast (a bit too expensive). Very comfortable beds. Beautiful skybar on top. Only problem I had were the very noisy conditioning in the room and the gym with no towels.

Nice bar and basic rooms.

Staying there for two nights was fine. The location is great, but the room is very basic and needs updating.

Highly recommend

Staff was very friendly. Needed an early check-in and wad able to get it for an additional cost (worth it). View and the room was great! Only thing that was tough to figure out was the AC unit. Location of the hotel was great. Once of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at and would stay here again.
Natasha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was a lovely option near the river. There are loads of dining and drinking options nearby. The room was lovely and the view, amazing! We didn't opt for breakfast but the sushi made to order was outstanding!!! The roof top bar on level 20 is wonderful for an evening cocktail and hotel guests are given a priority are.
