Staff were extremely helpful. Breakast was super. We had a newly renovated room with a river view which was spectacular, and bunk beds which proved very popular. Location was perfect, close enough to everything but far enough away to feel like your not in the city...a lovely mix. Overall a fabulous stay. Would definitely recommend,

The bathroom was super tiny. I understand it needs fit the size of the room, but it was super small. The sink beinh a size of a cutting board. Also a fire alarm was raised but there was no communication when the issue was resolved. The communication could have been better. Also the floorboards are mog carpets, the yoing ones kept slipping and falling as the floor was really slippery. The floor in the bathroom freezing during winter. I just dont understand why the floors arent carpeted. The hotel needs some refurbishments. Breakfast not so great either, could have been much better. Truthfully if given a choice I wouldn't want to stay here again.

Wonderful hotel, our room was modern and clean and fitted 5 of us in (2A, 3C). The bus from the airport and to SCV stops right outside. Our room overlooked the river, there are playgrounds and shops within walking distance. We didn’t eat at the restaurant as the menu wasn't to our taste, but there are loads of places to eat nearby. But the breakfast had a good selection, and we all managed to find something to fill up on for the day! Also to note there are multiple playrooms for kids in both the restaurant and main reception area, which our kids loved! Would absolutely rebook this hotel in a heartbeat!

Room was much nicer then the pictures make them look, was expecting budget travel lodge style from the photos bust actually really well done, good quality and lovely and warm, view was beautiful. I've seen comments about the tunnel, but it's not really that long and saves you going outside in the freezing temps to get to breakfast or the bar. Staff were lovely, friendly and so helpful. Bus stop for Santa village/ park / airport just outside hotel (only real stop in the city for it) so perfectly located, breakfast was good and varied plenty of options for the whole family. If we were to come back we'd absolutely look to stay here again.

Check in was a complete shambles ! We booked a superior room ? The room was so small we had no room to move around , with a suitcase of 28inch a medium case we could not open the bathroom door , no safe , no phone or anyway of contacting reception, we asked for the room to be made up upon our return they had put a roll of toilet paper on the bed , the only thing that had been done.
