Staff were extremely friendly, the rooms were clean. The only downside was if you aren’t planning on staying awake till 4-5am every night listening to the base from the clubs absolutely do not stay here.

Great hotel, I will definitely recommend this hotel, if you are young, vibrant, and love to party, it’s located right in the middle of the party scenes, the rooftop even though it’s small, it’s nice, the check-in was smooth and pretty everything I needed was a walking distance away

Near all the bars, shops and restaurants.
Nice pool.
Nice people/personnel.
Good advise to sleepata higher level, because of the noise at night. With the Windows close and a good airco its allright then.
Thanks for the nice time.

Absolutely lovely stay, staff were really friendly, rooms were immaculate and comfortable. Luggage storage was really good! Allowed us to explore easier. The rooftop pool is amazing with the best views. I can’t wait to return here one day

If you love noise & nightclubs and a young crowd around the pool & area then this is for you. It is a very noisy busy area & you can hear the nightclub music in your room all night. The room was not clean, a small space & loud rattling air con. Corridor and room had a funny smell & felt dark & gloomy
The staff are great & friendly & the price is good for this area

Decent place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Just keep in mind you are staying in the nightlife district and it gets loud and stays loud at night. They do provide earplugs which help massively. Only other minor comment is they used some sort of perfume in the room that was a bit strong at first. I recommend the room.

In general, the area is lively and full of shopping centers, restaurants, and nightclubs. However, it is extremely noisy at night, and you can’t sleep before 4 a.m. I wouldn’t recommend this area for people looking for a quiet place to stay.

Great location and comfortable rooms
It's located in the earth of Paceville, thus don't expect a quite atmosphere. I would suggest, if possible, to ask for a room at an high floor. Mine was 9 floor, room 904, and other than having a nice view over the city and sea, it was very well soundproofed. With window closed, you don't earn any noise from the street and all clubs next to the hotel.

If you want peace and quiet, don’t stay here. If you want good value in the middle of the party with good facilities and excellent cleanliness, this is the option for you. Under 30’s will love it. In all honesty, I wouldn’t stay here again because of the party vibe but I’m in my 40’s! We had 2 negatives, coffee and tea didn’t get replenished in the room without asking. Could’ve just been our housekeeper? And it is not sound proof as mentioned on the site, you WILL hear noise! Positives, location, cleanliness (shower was spotless when we arrived), roof top pool and staff in general really nice.

Boutique Stay
Fabulous hotel with interesting themed rooms and quirky decor. Very clean and well presented with helpful staff. We (couple) had a suite on the 10th floor including an outdoor private hot tub. Stayed in December so sadly the seasonal pool and bar on the roof was closed - hence choosing room with hot tub was a good call. The area is busy and full of clubs and nightlife into the early hours so bear that in mind if it’s not your thing - outdoors is noisy at night and can be heard from 10th floor balcony, although after closing door can sleep undisturbed.

This hotel is ideal if you are wanting to be close to the nightlife. Our last night we had to come back to hotel around 3am as flying the next day, hotel is right on the strip, we were on second floor and our window looking onto the bars yet we never heard much noise and managed to get to sleep fine.
The rooftop pool is small and not lots of beds but we always managed to get some with a group of 8.
The bar man was great, the cocktails and bar snacks were tasty!
We managed to keep one of our rooms on for aater check out, the staff were really helpful with this.
I would definitely recommend if you want to be close to the nightlife.

Comfortable
As a single male traveller it is frustrating that as this hotel is surrounded by gentlemens clubs you get apporached by several workers each time you pass.
The sheets were not changed at all over a 7 day stay. This i would habe expected to be done at least once if not twice.
Other than that the hotel was comfortable
