“Dramatic and luxurious hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

This hotel operates very much at the top of the market, and so details that would be glossed over in a more modest hotel, caused some detraction from what otherwise would have been a wonderful stay. First the really good points. Every member of staff that we met was a credit to the hotel..charming, well trained, efficient, and clearly (and justifiably) proud of their hotel. The building itself is startling, and superbly equipped. Flying in, it was easy to spot a remarkable building. We did not eat in the hotel except for breakfasts, but those were excellent, fresh, but possibly a little expensive. The concerns that we had were, perhaps, a result of going for occupancy levels over maintenance. The shower head bracket was falling off, the carpets were stained, the soft furnishing was stained, the styled bed side shelves were worn through. But the most annoying and persistent problem was that we endured a day and a half of hammering as the room next door was refurbished. In a hotel at this level, they should have taken the adjoining rooms "off line"....it's what justifies the premium price.
And, PLEASE, stop trying to charge €4 for every bottle of mineral water that is left automatically in the room every day. We ended up with a tray full of full bottles which were reflected in the final invoice until we mentioned that we had not touched them. A silly bit of inertia marketing.
Would we go back....yes, for sure. But we would check the invoice!!

“Nice view, shame about the rest...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

We stayed in this hotel over Christmas 2012, I found the initial welcome very poor. The modern twist on the bathroom is interesting-might as well just remove the door altogether! Room service was poor. Very overpriced. Apart from the view I can't think of much else to recommend it. Don't waste your time.

“Luxury Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

This hotel had all the makings and trimmings, including amazing views of the port, which has made it worthy of a return visit. We found the spacious layout of the room and powerful shower two of the design highlights that were given extra consideration. Was a a bit of a long stroll to the town center though.

“A birthday treat I will never forget”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013 via mobile

We stayed at the W for my 40th birthday and had an amazing time. Having read so much about the hotel in advance I was excited to see it first hand. We we're not disappointed. An upgrade saw us on the 5th floor with excellent views of the beach and port. The room was massive and very modern. Contrary to other reviews we found the layout to be superb and we spent a good 20 minutes checking out the facilities. We booked into Bravo24 for dinner which was incredible. Food, service & wine were all great. The staff had very kindly brought over a little cake and also we had 2 bottles of cava with a birthday greeting in the room. Very modern, very chic and would love to come back sometime soon.
