Large, clean, well maintained room with effective air conditioning. Ear plugs provided in case of noise from the bar below but the noise wasn’t too bad at all. Breakfast was at additional cost but was very nice. Would definitely recommend staying at the Skeff.

The restaurant attached to the hotel is gorgeous and delicious, but be aware that it is also a night club that goes until 2am. Luckily, the rooms come with earplugs.

The hotel is close to everything and parking is available which the hotel provides a great explanation of how to access. Despite it being a late night venue our room was very quiet and we enjoyed breakfast that was available - really good value. Would recommend’

Great location- around the corner from shops and restaurants. Close enough to these features but far enough where it's not impacting your stay with crowds and noise. Staff is friendly and helpful.
