Avoid if you value sleep!

My wife, myself and a group of 9 friends had a very uncomfortable stay at Hugo Boutique Hotel.

The hotel is located in Paceville, an area packed wall-to-wall with nightclubs and bars blasting loud music until around 4am every night, followed immediately by noisy rubbish collection until about 5am. Sleep was virtually impossible. The hotel’s response was that there was nothing they could do because the noise came from surrounding establishments. However, on the Friday night, the hotel itself hosted a rooftop party until 4am — boom, boom, boom straight through the night. If you stay here, bring industrial-strength earplugs.

Breakfast was served in the sister hotel, H Hotel, next door. Unfortunately, the connecting bridge between the two hotels did not open until 9:30am because, we were told, there were no staff available to open it earlier. This meant having to leave the hotel, walk down slippery steep steps and through streets that were being hosed down with soapy water to clean up the previous night’s litter. In wet weather this could easily become dangerous.

The breakfast itself offered a good selection of cold meats, cheeses, fruit, salads, fresh bread and made-to-order omelettes, which were all enjoyable. Sadly, the hot buffet was anything but hot — most items were cold or barely warm. Even the coffee from the machines was lukewarm unless you specifically requested a hot coffee from staff.

The rooms were spacious and reasonably comfortable, and the staff were generally friendly and helpful. However, the windows were filthy, and the shower temperature constantly fluctuated from cold to dangerously hot. The bathroom was separated from the bedroom by a transparent glass wall, and the mirrored ceiling added to the unusual atmosphere. We were told locals refer to it as “The Sex Hotel,” which probably says it all. Even the men’s urinals in the public toilets off the bar were shaped like a woman’s open mouth.

Definitely not somewhere we would return to.

We had a fantastic time we celebrated our anniversary there and the staff are very friendly, professional and cannot do enough for you I must say the breakfast is amazing with plenty of choice we had a suite with a hot tub in the room and it was perfect. We stayed 3 nights, location is good with plenty of restaurants and bars
