Extremely good value for money for the time of year away from peak season. Had concerns about noise in the area but the double balcony doors provided very good noise insulation as did the white noise from AC so wasn’t an issue. Staff very friendly and professional, especially Gvantsa whom I made a point of noting her name down as she was so very helpful and friendly. As part of the IHG group you could use facilities next door and order intercontinental room service which was a big plus which could be delivered to either room or ninth floor restaurant area/terrace. Room was clean and functional and only improvement would be a small fridge but appreciate for price point and rating this isn’t standard but could be offered for some rooms with option to pay extra etc. There is construction work in the area but didn’t cause us any issues but to be aware of. We had a number of excursions booked that picked us up here because it’s a main location and it was also handy for Ubers as well as bus. Lots of shops nearby and you can walk along promenade for few hours to other major hubs easily.

A week in February

Stayed here for a week, the staff are all extremely helpful, breakfast is excellent, Mario, one of the waiters, is a credit to the hotel, cleanliness is exceptional. The only downside was the noise from nearby clubs at the weekend, but if you take earplugs you won't find a more comfortable place.

A memorable stay

It was lovely staying in a standard double bedroom with a balcony that offered a partial view of St. George's Bay. The room size was more than enough, and it had all the basic amenities listed in the description. We loved how the housekeeping staff made sure our room was tidy and clean almost every day, except when we asked for privacy. The only thing we had a slight difficulty with was the shower area. There was no door, and water splashed outside the shower area, but we managed to place the bathroom mat outside the shower area as a makeshift solution. Breakfast was scrumptious, and we were thrilled to find vegetarian sausages as an alternative to meat. We couldn't resist the fresh and delicious pastries either. Location-wise, it was perfect for us, even though the area was known for its nightlife and party atmosphere. The rooms had sound-absorbing doors, which meant that we could rest peacefully without being disturbed by any noise from outside, especially at night. All in all, our stay was fantastic and unforgettable.
