Center Hotels Plaza

8/10 Good

"We only stayed there for one night prior to the cruise. Our flight arrived at 8 a.m and were able to get to the hotel around 10 a.m. by the Flybus with hotel transfer (closest bus stop 3 minutes from the hotel). There was a room available and we were allowed to check in right away. We thought we might have to leave our luggages at the hotel and check in after 2 p.m. Our room was one of the rooms at the roof top with a common balcony with the other rooms. Room was clean but not very big. The safety box was located quite high. Staff was nice and helpful. We were offered two vouchers for free drinks (beer, wine, expresso, latte, etc). We did not eat breakfast and checked out at 11 am the next day and the reception called a taxi for us to go to the cruise terminal."

Hotel Ísland - Spa & Wellness Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We did not use the spa, we just like the room while booking. We were not disappointed, the room was perfect (felt just like home) and the shower was wonderful (fantastic pressure) plus the bed was very comfortable. My only comment would be that the couch is beyond hard and the hanging lamp is placed in the walkway."
