    Excellent boutique hotel - superb location

    • Deluxe Superior Double Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    There were a couple of snags in our room - the door stop came out, the hand-held shower was not well fitted and our empty tissues and bathroom accessories were not replaced when they were empty until we made it obvious. Our view was poor. These did not detract much from our overall positive impression.

    The ambience and 'feel' of the hotel was very good. All the staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was generally very good and the UVA restaurant was excellent. The room we were given was very comfortable. The roof terrace and pool were lovely.

    The vine was a lovely stay for a week!! We booked in advance on Booking.com and so got for a reasonable price. Location, staff and facilities were all amazing. They couldn’t have done enough for us. We were told on arrival that unfortunately the top pool wasn’t working so we would need to go to another hotel to use the pool facilities, at first I was really dissapointed however the hotel upgraded us to a junior suite to compensate, and ran taxis for free to and from the vine to the neighbouring hotel and the hotel with the pool was amazing and just as good if not better than the vines so we had no issue with doing this on sunny days. Honestly would stay again, has a great city vibe and lovely lovely staff that go above and beyond. It was the first holiday I have been on in years that was smooth and comfortable from start to finish. No complaints!

    Only criticism is that the lighting system in the room was *way* too complicated! (And I speak as retired lighting designer!).

    Excellent staff; excellent location; very quiet; excellent breakfast; excellent restaurant.

    No complaints at all. Recommended a couple of minor changes in the disabled bathroom.

    An excellent hotel in a good location closer to the city than most. Award-winning design works well, though light switches need careful study. Disabled room works well too. Fine rooftop restaurant a bonus.

    On arrival we were told that the rooftop pool and bar were out of action due to bad storms causing alot of damage. We were very disappointed as we weren't told beforehand . We found out that other people had been offered a full refund if they wished to go to another hotel. We were offered one complimentary drink each for this which we didn't feel was good enough. After speaking to the Manager we were offered a complimentary 3-course evening meal in the hotel including all our drinks. we were also offered a room upgrade to the Junior Suite, although the upgraded room itself was luxurious and spacious we had a problem with street and road noise as the room was on the front of the hotel above the shopping centre entrance. We were offered a refund for the remaining nights if we did want to change hotels.

    The breakfast was excellent, great selection of food and the staff were very attentive. The hotel location was very good , just a short walk to all amenities. The old town was further to walk approx 15 - 20 mins. We had one evening meal in the hotel restaurant which was excellent.

    Perfect location, lovely staff but don't bother paying extra for a balcony
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe Prestige Double Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    We paid extra for a room with a balcony but the balcony was literally one foot wide by 4 feet long, so there was no chance of putting a chair on it to sit with a book and drink as it literally afforded room to stand and that was it. The hotel is very modern but many of the features were form over function - the huge bath in our room was a feature but was pretty hopeless as a bath. You couldn't lie down in it and there was no way to turn on the hose for washing hair (which once pulled out wouldn't go back into its holder). Uber annoying was that if you got out of bed at night to use the bathroom, there were motion lights around the bottom of the bed which came on and stayed on for 5 minutes. A few times they were triggered just by a foot hanging over the edge of the bed or the sheet slipping down.

    Perfect location and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast options, the restaurant was excellent and the rooftop terrace was a lovely place to sit on a sunny day. Extremely clean and modern with a shopping centre beneath and a taxi rank just outside.

    Breakfast is good in terms of variety of food and drink on offer but organisation somewhat chaotic. Staff very variable. Some were wonderful some much less so. If you are going to have a rooftop bar with iconic views and charge €18 for a gin and tonic you should at least have bar staff who know how to make one.

    Excellent central location. Rooftop pool has frat views.
