Very nice hotel with an exceptional gym (which is actually open to the public on a membership basis) and other amenities like a pool, sauna, and steam room. There is a whirlpool, which does not get very hot but is still relaxing. The views are amazing in the rooms as they look out onto the North Atlantic. The bar is extremely spacious and there is comfortable seating throughout. The restaurant is also nice, though service can be a bit slow sometimes. But if you approach your server instead of waiting for them to stop by, they are very responsive. I found the front desk was not very knowledgeable about things to do or even their own gym. But they are all polite. The taxi call service is very cool. You just punch a button at the front desk and it automatically calls the cab for you. Press and hold to call a minibus for a larger group. It will tell you the ETA a car description. You don t even have to bother the front desk. Rooms were fine. Beware, the walls are quite thin. We could hear the tv next door whenever it was on. This was inconvenient late at night. The TVs were also very small. Like really small! Could use an upgrade there. But the views certainly made up for it. Would certainly stay here again though. But it is a little bit out of the downtown area. It s a short cab right costing about 8-12 euros and maybe 5-6 minutes.
