My stay at this hotel was fantastic. The location is superb, being right next to the theatre we were visiting and in the heart of the city center. The rooms were spacious, modern, and had a king bed, making for a comfortable experience. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff always ready to assist. However, the dining options were a bit limited, but the hotel made up for it with their great steaks. Overall, a great value for money with everything we needed close by.

The location is superb, being in the center of town and really close to the theater and Mt Egmont national Park. The only downside was the limited dining options, but the risotto was amazing.
