"The hotel is really clean and quirky, decent breakfast in the restaurant definitely adds to the experience as it's in the old bank vault!"
"The rooftop bar gives great views over the city and is very popular on weekend evenings."
"Best aspect of the room was the bathroom, well designed, we had an open plan bathroom with a golden sink."

“Design Plus Bex stands out for its prime location near Las Canteras Beach and the old town, making exploration effortless. I'm particularly impressed by the rooftop bar, a perfect spot for evening relaxation with its panoramic views. The transformation of a former bank into this stylish hotel adds a unique touch, blending historical charm with modern comforts.”

The room was clean, so that was acceptable.
The bathroom situation was not ideal. There was a glass door separating the bathroom and bedroom with a noticeable gap. Privacy was minimal. the shower lacked a proper screen, the bathroom floor was always wet after a shower.

the rooftop terrace impressed me with beautiful cocktails. my room had an attached balcony, and it was great. i liked the comfortable bed after my long days of travel. the staff always greeted me, so i felt very welcome.
the traffic noise was constant even on the 6th floor. horns beeping and people shouting disrupted any quiet moments i hoped to have. it was tough to sleep well with all the noise.
