Please do not stay here. The bed was infested with ants and the hotel sent a cleaner who couldn't communicate and just left after trying to explain where the ants were but couldn't understand. We asked to swap rooms and they didn't allow this and said we would either have to stay in the bed or find a new hotel. I wish I had took a picture to show the amount of bugs that were on the bed after we had came back from spending the day at the pool. The receptionist we spoke to was very unapologetic and didn't really care about the complaint. We also had a leaking toilet that leaked all day/night. Even if we had had a clean non bug ridden bed we still wouldn't of got any sleep.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The rooms are beautiful and modern, the beds are really comfy and the staff is super friendly. The location is very good as well, close to restaurants and a short walk to the beach and boulevard. I would recommend this hotel 10/10!

We are very pleased with our two night stay at this hotel. It is a perfect location in that the cruise port is very close and the beach area is a simple and short walk away. It is also a 2 minute walk to a lovely park area with very nice, inexpensive restaurants and bars for both lunchtime and evenings. The staff were all excellent and very helpful. We would definitely be happy to stay here again.

Overall a very good experience. Quirky ex bank building and themed appropriately complete with breakfast in the vault. I’d stay there again without hesitation. Nice sun roof terrace. 2 or 3 suggestions The hanging rail with fixed hangers is far too high. It’s impractical for anyone under 5’6” maybe have detachable hangers? The clear glass between shower/bathroom and bedroom is stylish but rather revealing. Steps have already been taken to remedy this 3. The large beer is very small. Maybe a bigger glass? Having said all that, I’d certainly stay there again.

What’s not to like? Stylish, quirky & well appointed hotel. Spacious, comfortable & sparkling clean room. Given that we are staying for two weeks, more storage would be appreciated, two drawers are not sufficient. All staff have been most helpful & friendly. The choice at breakfast is fabulous with plenty of healthy options available & the staff work incredibly hard to keep the buffet topped up. Really good bean to cup coffee machine, which is a real bonus. We would definitely recommend & stay again.

I was attending a conference in the city, and my room was booked in this hotel. The design and style of the building and the interiors were catchy, nice, and fun. The room was clean, and everyone was nice, professional, and polite. The breakfast was extremely nice.

Positives about hotel: 1) Location. For us this was very good. Close (ish) to beach and to Festival location (we happened to be there when it took place). 2) Check in. This was very good. The woman who checked us in was very clear and knowledgable and gave us good advice on restaurants etc 3) Car parking. There is a public multi storey car park adjoined to the hotel. Cost 10 euros a day, paid via hotel, which allowed us to take the car in and out whenever we wanted. 4) Hotel nice and clean. Funky design and nice way they have tried to loibnk in the theme of the bank and vault etc. The downsides for us were: 1). Room design. Whilst the room had comfy beds and was in many ways quite satisfactory, it lacked in a number of ways: a) the bathroom was on full view of neighbours hanging out the washing on the roof of the neighbouring block, which was only 20 feet away. Several times we stepped out of shower to be in full view of the people on the roof. The window had no blind or semi transparent material on it. Equally, the shower room had clear glass into the bedroom, apart from the middle third. What this meant was that when using the toilet you were visible to the other person in the room Such very weird design - and something that could be fixed by the application of some more of the translucent coverage to the bottom third of the window and the shower wall. b) Storage. We stayed 6 nights and felt there was not enough storage - in particular shelving. The hangers were also those annoying fixed type that you cannot remove from the rail. The rail was pretty high. I could reach okay (but I am 6 feet 1 inch. My wife at 5 foot 5 inch struggled to get her clothes on or off the hangers. 2). Service. My wife used the top floor/roof loungers to sunbathe one day. The staff were unwilling/unable to supply her a towel to use to put on the lounger (the ones in then room were wet as had been used for drying after showering). She was told she would have to go 'down to reception and give them her credit card details and then they may be able to supply a towel at reception'. Totally uninterested. And such a contrast to the hotel we had stayed in for 5 days in Melanoras near the dunes before we n over to Las Palmas. 3) Breakfast. Was okay, but not great. Food supply felt a little bit random. Overall, it felt a bit like a Premier Inn type experience but with more stylish design (UK visitors would understand that reference more). So, would we stay again if we were in Los Palmas again? Maybe, not sure. We paid an average of 201 euros per night for a 6 night stay from 13-19 February (plus 10 euros per night for parking)

A lovely hotel with clean smart and beautiful rooms. The beds are really comfortable and we slept so well. The breakfast buffet was excellent and all the staff seemed really friendly and helpful. We tried out the small gym a few times, which was a nice facility to have, and the views from the rooftop were breathe taking. We will be coming back.
