Wheelchair friendly and great location
Great location. Lovely wheelchair accessible room. Only one small hanging area with a tiny shelf for clothes. Could have used a small drawer unit for clothes as plenty of room. Otherwise lots of room to turn and move about. Staff really friendly and helpful. We will be coming back here at some point in the future.

The perfect location for the gunwharf shopping
My good friend and I went this shopping trip together. This hotel is the perfect location for the gunwharf shopping center. We are able to drop stuff back to hotel easily then keep shopping. Also the Quay Card is a good extra for the savings.

We had a lovely stay. Staff friendly and breakfast was very good. The only downside was the cleaning of the rooms we found dirty tissues at the back of the bed and water still
Left in the kettle

Let down
Our room overlooked the Quay Walk with the donut stand, at nighttime the Uni students descended on the bar directly opposite and shouted, whooped, wolf whistled and were a general noise nightmare until the early hours.
Our room was as expected, the bed was too hard and uncomfortable. We left early - sleep deprived and grumpy.

Excellent other than no toilet brush
Will never give a full rating when no toilet brush is in the room, i know you’ll say room service do it but my wife and I hate not having a brush to tidy up!
