Staying at the virgin was a lovely experience. The location is fantastic, close to many restaurants and bars. Our chamber king castle view room was stylish, compact, and had everything we needed. The service at eve was great.
the virgin sign was a bit hard to spot, as it is dark.

The rooftop terrace was fine, yet the parking was inconvenient and expensive.

Quirky library and lounge design made each moment relaxing.
The shower pressure was disappointingly low for the rest of the wonderful amenities.

The location is unbeatable, just steps from iconic landmarks. The room was impeccably clean and featured a wonderfully comfortable bed, perfect for a restful night. The staff, especially Natalia and Yannis, were attentive. The breakfast buffet was a letdown with poor quality items, and the noise from outside the double windows significantly disrupted our peace.

The food scene near Virgin Hotels is a delight, especially Ondine's seafood and the cozy vibe at Bertie's Restaurant. Plus, the room was fabulous with an air conditioner that worked like a charm!
The reception experience could use a bit more warmth. Our flowers got slightly squished when we checked our bags, a bit of a letdown considering the special occasion.

Couples Escape for a Special Occasion
The staff were really nice, leaving a personalized happy birthday note in our room it seemed like they really cared. The commons club bar was a classy spot for cocktails with an elegant atmosphere.
It wasn't inexpensive but for the experience, I think it was acceptable.

Couples seeking style and comfort
The staff were very friendly, I mean genuinely wanted to help. We got some excellent service when they accommodated us so well, they even brought a bottle of wine to our room after I mentioned it was our anniversary.
It wasn't exactly pocket change, but you know, it's what you'd expect for a place like this.
