Guests frequently highlight the stunning river views and the modern, luxurious feel of the hotel. The breakfast buffet is widely praised, especially the gluten-free options. The hotel's central location provides convenient access to attractions like the Town Hall, just a short walk away, and the CityCat ferry.

The concierge service was helpful. The central location made getting around simple. Quick room service was available .
Lifts experienced delays and had limited capacity. Room pipes whistled after use for 15 minutes. Hot water took about five minutes to heat up.

Lovely stay!

modern gym ample equipment great shower pressure
The modern gym had ample equipment. I saw three treadmills and two stationary bikes. The large bathroom featured a great shower pressure, IT WAS wonderful. The bed was comfortable.
The valet service was quite rude, i think. Pillows were stupidly uncomfortable. There wasn't much information about different facilities.
