Great concept rooms in a fab location, just a few minutes from the esplanade. Fabulous rooftop terrace with private access and all the amenities you could ask for. The room was tidy, but there were some crumbs (guessing from the previous guests) under the table and on the chairs.
We arrived early and they were able to store our luggage for us. The receptionists were so friendly and helpful, even allowing me to practice my rusty Spanish with them!
