Wheelchair friendly and great location

Great location. Lovely wheelchair accessible room. Only one small hanging area with a tiny shelf for clothes. Could have used a small drawer unit for clothes as plenty of room. Otherwise lots of room to turn and move about. Staff really friendly and helpful. We will be coming back here at some point in the future.

The perfect location for the gunwharf shopping

My good friend and I went this shopping trip together. This hotel is the perfect location for the gunwharf shopping center. We are able to drop stuff back to hotel easily then keep shopping. Also the Quay Card is a good extra for the savings.

The rooms are a little worn and dated, but clean and serves well as a base to have a couple of days shopping. Situated right in the middle of Gunwharf Quays it is perfect to shop all day, drop purchases back to the room, shower and go out for a meal in one of the many nearby restaurants. Breakfast is really good, excellent variety of hot and cold options.

Let down

Our room overlooked the Quay Walk with the donut stand, at nighttime the Uni students descended on the bar directly opposite and shouted, whooped, wolf whistled and were a general noise nightmare until the early hours. Our room was as expected, the bed was too hard and uncomfortable. We left early - sleep deprived and grumpy.
