Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered spacious and clean rooms with comfy beds thanks to excellent housekeeping, overlooking the river Lee. The service was a mix of politeness and some issues with problem-solving over the phone, but the in-person service was efficient and out of this world. The location was excellent, just a 10-minute walk from the city center, with all amenities nearby. The dining experience was excellent with various buffet choices and hot meals made to order, all included in the room price. Overall, a great stay with some service hiccups.
The hotel offers spacious and luxurious rooms that are bright, soundproofed, and meticulously clean, although not ideal for multiple female guests needing simultaneous charging and makeup time. The service is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond, while the location is perfect for easy access to the city center. The dining experience provides a variety of food options, though at a cost. Overall, a superb location with excellent service and amenities, despite some room limitation for multiple guests.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were fresh and had a nice view over the river, although they felt a bit cramped with a double and a single bed. The service was exceptional, especially considering we had small children with us. The hotel staff went above and beyond for us on our anniversary. The location was superb with a super view but slightly far from the city center for young children. The dining experience was impressive, offering a combination of buffet choices and à la carte options. Overall, a great experience!
Our stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms were cozy, offering a river view and welcome chocolates, but some of our party ended up in what could be considered a 'cosy room' instead of the expected superior rooms. The service was exceptional, with a warm welcome and high-level customer service from all staff members. The location was lovely, not in the overcrowded city center but still close to key attractions like the English Market and Oliver Planket street.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were big, comfy, and spotlessly clean, with access to the executive lounge. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist me, always with a warm smile. The location was perfect for exploring the city center on foot and beyond. The dining experience was amazing, offering a wide range of choices to suit every taste. Overall, a fantastic experience with great value for money.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The room I stayed in was one of the nicest I've ever been in, though there was a bit of an issue where two of our party ended up in 'cosy rooms'. The service was wonderful overall, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was ideal for exploring the city, and the dining experience, while a bit pricey, offered good options. The facilities were up to par, making for a comfortable stay.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The room was very comfortable and spacious with a lovely view of the River Lee. It would have been even better to have a single bed as I was traveling alone, but it was still great. The access to the executive lounge was a real treat, offering a relaxing atmosphere and complimentary refreshments.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room I stayed in was spacious and conveniently located next to the Executive Lounge. However, it was a bit disappointing that two of us ended up in a 'cosy room' instead of the superior rooms we booked. The room contained two double beds, welcome chocolates, and offered a lovely river view. The service provided was a mix of experiences, with some staff members being a bit off towards me and my girlfriend, possibly due to our age. However, the service in the river club was excellent. The location of the hotel was perfect, just a 5-minute walk to the city center, but I have to admit it felt like it was in a slightly run-down area. The dining experience was delightful, especially the dinner, and the staff were kind and attentive, even to our little one. The facilities were great overall, offering various services like room service, dry cleaning, and a welcome drink.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, bright, and modern with effective lighting, and they were ready before check-in time which was perfect for our plans. The beds were incredibly comfortable, just what we needed after a night of celebrating. The staff were mostly pleasant, although there were some instances where we felt a bit scrutinized due to our age. However, overall they were friendly and accommodating, especially Taylor, Jessica, and Chloe who were incredibly helpful. The location was perfect for us as it was close to where we needed to be, secure, and not overpriced. The dining experience was generally excellent, with friendly staff who even interacted warmly with our toddler. The food quality varied but was generally satisfactory. Overall, a great experience but with a few minor drawbacks to consider.
