Recommended Trip type: Business "Nice but expensive"

Reviewed by A of Leeds on Nov 6, 2008

The sas hotel is very nice, but eating and drinking in the hotel is expensive - I know its a sas, but £7 for a latte in the bar?? However the local area has many bars and places to eat which are good value and nice and its just a 2min walk. Traffic can also be very bad in the area, so watch airport transfer times! At 5pm it took 1 3/4 hours to get to the hotel, going out at 6am it took 20mins.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "Excellent Hotel"

Reviewed by Pamela of Atlanta, Ga. on Jun 7, 2007

We found this hotel to be very clean, comfortable and right on the water. It is tucked away on a side street, and isn't very impressive from the outside front entrance, but met all our expectations totally. The lobby area is not as large as some hotels, but was certainly large enough. The staff were all outstanding. The tour company they work with was also excellent. The mattress and linens were good quality. The room was very large and had sofa and chairs. The bathroom was modern and luxurious. The walk in closet was much larger than needed, but was great storage for our suitcases. The buffet breakfast was great also. The restaurant patio was very nice, on the water also. We really were pleased with this hotel. Even the best hotel in the world will not satisfy if the staff isn't friendly and helpful. The staff of this hotel were exceptional in every way. They were so good to us.
