Positive about this location; . It is in VI so central lots of restaurants and spots. However there were many issues with this hotel. 1. There were frequent power outages — one time I was in shower and had to wait for 5mins for the water to come back on. An inverter would be a good idea. 2 I had to ring for toilets rolls and towels as they forgot to include upon checkin, 3.Checkout was horrendous as they almost put the wrong charge on my bill, and didn’t really seem like they knew what they were doing. 4. The breakfast selection wasn’t the best. Kind regards. Adeola

Booked to stay at the Blowfish on arrival was informed that they were fully booked and was moved to their sister hotel Vertigo; which would've have been fine until I heard the club thumping above me at 2am when I was trying to sleep. Breakfast at Vertigo was poor, great views tho. If you love clubbing 24/7, then Blowfish & Vertigo is for you.
