Fantastic hotel, can't fault it. Highly recommend
Excellent modern hotel with great facilities. Handy location near commercial bay restaurants/shops and the viaduct/ferry terminal. The rooms were large, comfortable, modern and clean. Rooftop bar is epic if you want a cocktail and enjoy the harbour views. Long indoor pool, jacuzzi spa, gym and even a sauna was a nice surprise. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful, yet way too short
We stayed only one night and could not use all the great amenities. Dinner at the hotel was great. The room was spacious, clean, and very nicely designed. The hotel had a technical issue which could not be fixed during our stay and affected all rooms. The management however compensated us in a great and interesting way which was an amazing way to apologize for the inconvenience. Will we come back? Definitely! We still need to ise the spa, the pool, the gym, and many more amenities.

Fantastic hotel bit quirky
Fantastic hotel we booked four rooms for two couples two children and an infant and a parent. The rooms were fantastic enjoyed all the services including the pool buffet breakfast. Our only complaint was the green lights in the room are a little bit of a night.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed with our newborn and found it very easy going and the staff were really sweet and accommodating. Loved the King Studio room! It was spacious and felt luxurious with lots of design touches. I wouldn't say it was particularly quiet with loud music from the bars and sirens on a Saturday night, but didn't bother us. The restaurant food and service was great, but would suggest they lower the lights for more ambiance?
