The ICON Hotel & Lounge

What a lovely little hotel! Perfect for exploring the city. Centrally located , in easy reach of everything, we only used public transport once and that was up to the castle. Plenty of places to eat/ convenience shops , bars, retail shops within a short walk. The hotel was very efficient, I messaged them before we left the UK and they arranged a taxi for us, which was waiting for us as we walked through arrivals. Very friendly and chatty guy, gave us lots of info places to go. The lady who checked us, ( apologies didn’t ask her name) was very helpful and friendly. She booked us a massage for the following evening straight away and gave us lots of information on the city. The room was clean and comfortable, the bed and pillows especially so! The shower was great . The room as quite warm and stuffy so we had the windows open a lot of the time, as the A/C wasn’t very efficient. The downside to that was during the night we were disturbed with people talking /laughing in the street below. ( The public areas upstairs were also very warm, maybe partly due the amount of windows/glass. As you got into the lift the warmth hit you. Probably welcome in the winter but not so great when it was 26 degrees outside) We had breakfast on the first morning, typical European breakfast, buffet selection and a few dishes to order, pancakes were yummy and a big portion. The rest of the stay we ate elsewhere to experience different dishes. The day we checked out the same lady who checked us out was very helpful and stored our luggage until we had to depart for the airport. I would highly recommend this place to stay!
