Hotel Harbour Towers
10 hotel reviews for Hotel Harbour Towers
As part of our round trip we spent two nights at the harbor towers. We had a suite on the twelve floor and a magnificent view over the city and harbor. Simply super. The room had a beautiful, large balcony. Fully equipped kitchen which we didn't use. Beds were a bit small. many restaurants near the hotel. Best location for exploring the city. Read more

As soon as you walk into the hotel entrance is on a nice indoor fountain and slight left at the front desk check in. This entrance makes a very nice and freshly renovated impression. The hotel has many rooms located on with 10 floors (sorry, I have already forgotten unfortunately) spread. The rooms are a bit dated, you mainly at the technology and the s... Read more

The impression from the outside is rather negative. A large block, more high than nice. Then the front desk seemed a bit better as you look in the bar and the restaurant can throw. A very good busines center with complimentary high-speed Internet access.
I ca under service sorts of said. Otherwise please look at pictures.
When I checked in they tried to charge us a suite in the 7 . Floor to offer. But the was a bit unhappy and was not very well equipped. We booked this then rejected and were in the 12 floor, higher, it couldn't be moved. T... Read more

It was the only suite in the area with a kitchen, which was why I stayed here, but if you don't need the space, I would probably stay somewhere else.

Vic's restaurant which does the room service too leaves a lot to be desired. They are supposed to be famous for their steaks, but the quality of the steak was low, a demi-glace was added to the steak without requesting it and the edges were burnt giving the steak an off taste.
