Abba fully met my expectations of a 4- star property. Very well situated - city attractions an average 15-20 mins walk away. Many good restaurants around, choosing one is part of the adventure.
My room: very well appointed, spacious & comfortable; regularly cleaned to a good standard. Towel policy is energy-saving & consumables are very good quality, in large dispensers; much preferred over sachets other places use. Two suggestions: 1. Kettle had bad design resulting in boiling water all over the tray when poured - not very safe. 2. toilet roll holders: could be to front of loo rather than behind, requiring contortionist skills to reach.
Breakfast buffet is excellent & well-priced.
I would very much recommend the property!
The very popular roof-top bar/restaurant was a concern: Glad I booked in advance. What I chose was very good quality, but menu is disappointingly limited. Main concern was, with service: Not many tables & not very busy seemingly more than enough staff. Yet no-one seemed to be in charge & there didn't appear to be much communication between them. They were all very pleasant but not what I'd expect delivery-wise. Whilst not offered as starter/main/dessert format, my food arrived in reverse order. After a 30 mins wait, my dessert didn't materialise. This was sorted effectively - taken off bill, but it didn't need to happen in the first place.
Doesn't affect my rating of venue as not an 'essential'. Pity not to fully capitalise on an asset.
