Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a separate sitting area. While the comfy bed was a highlight, the all-night traffic noise from the East Tamar Highway was a drawback. The hotel's location provides easy access to the city areas and beautiful views from the balconies, although some noise from the highway could be heard.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, surrounded by plenty of eateries and with easy access to the city areas. The rooms were perfect with many thoughtful touches, although they faced a main road. The service was exceptional, particularly from Victoria, who provided us with great assistance. The location was convenient but slightly noisy due to the nearby highway. The dining experience was more than perfect, especially for those who prefer self-catering options. Overall, a great value for money with only minor downsides.
