Nice stay with fun events
We stayed as a group at the Hotel Rec and had a great time! The rooms were as expected, very nice and comfortable. We really enjoyed the roof top lounge and bar. The nightly events were great, we did a beer tasting with good information on the local beer. Had a great time!

Hotel Rec is a lovely hotel with friendly accommodating staff. The rooftop bar and pool is a great area to relax, with a drink and a snack and take in the view of the surrounding city. The location was good - near to cafes, restaurants and within walking distance of some of the key sites.

Perfect option for tourism
The surprise rooftop lounge and pool is the best part of this property. When you are tired of walk and back to the hotel you get a lounge to relax and enjoy a good food and vine for a reasonable price. Very good breakfast. Strongly recommended.
