8.8/10 Excellent! (436 reviews)
Would likely stay again considering the location, convenience and general style of the apartment. Spacious and roomy 2 bedroom modern styled apartment with high ceilings. Bathroom plus ensuite on main with seperate laundry room. Well equiped for a long stay. Good outlook to the NW. it was useful to find a guide booklet with all the appliance instructions. Car park has very reasonably sized spaces with easy access, although one needs to make many turns to reach the higher levels. While the apartment had many newer features there were a number of minor maintenance needs that hopefully are on the to do list. The most significant the sliding blinds on the NW facing patio doorways were missing sections and not all interlocking as per new requiring some care when handling and not fully closing off the glass. We were not a fan of the style of modern low backed lounges provided, considering our less than youthful bodies. The outlook of the apartment provided in the complex will vary depending on the floor (up to 20) and whether facing the NW, NE or SE. Worth confirming prior to booking. Cannot say how our appartment compares with any others offered in the complex.

This was our first stay at this accommodation and we were very impressed with everything. No hesitation in recommending a stay here. Even though there was road work being done nearby there was no noise. A good walk down to The Strand for a meal before returning to our room.

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
These are newly renovated units that are very modern and functional. The decor is great and the size is adequate. The free breakfast offered is so amazingly tasty and large in portion generously. The shuttle service is included which is so prompt and efficient from and to the ferry terminal. The staff are very accommodating, friendly and pleasant. We highly recommend this hotel which is 5 mins from the terminal. The location is quiet and restaurant is next door to the hotel. There are a few other restaurants very close to the hotel on the esplanade. Overall, it’s a 5 star with great amenities and service.
