Nice place to stay in a great location to explore the city. Clean comfortable room, friendly helpful staff, and an amazing breakfast. Ask for a Mountain View room otherwise you’ll be looking at the ship yard.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was nice; however, it was too warm and the air conditioning was centrally controlled, so no option to change that I could see.

Location was great really close to V&A waterfront staff were very friendly & helpful. Food at hotel & breakfast was good plenty of choice. Outdoor area on 2nd floor was good. Only recommendadtion would be to have an outside seating area on ground floor would be ideal.

Ok hotel. Location wasn’t the best. Very far from waterfront. It’s a good conference hotel, but I wouldn’t say it´s perfect for a family with 2 kids and 2 adults.

Brilliant hotel overall. The location was a little tricky to find at first, but once there it was nice. The rooms were modern, very clean, and spacious, making the stay comfortable and relaxing. I must say the breakfast was excellent — a great variety of options and very high quality, definitely one of the highlights of the stay. The staff were friendly and professional, and the hotel has a great atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.

Pretty basic. Very business like hotel. It was pretty full and busy fo a small place so getting a breakfast table was a short wait. Great location with lots of exciting “V & A attractions” and a shuttle bus service provided.

Probably the friendliest hotel I have been to. The staff, all the staff are excellent can’t do enough to help you. Rooms are good quality, pool area and sun deck is great. Breakfast is amazing quality and plentiful. Drinks and other meals are reasonably priced and good quality. I’ve extended my stay by an extra night (owing to Middle East flight issues) and arranging that was easy. Location is ideal for the waterfront I have walked there and back a lot. Hotel provides transport or an uber is literally £2-3. The only thing, which made me smile is the “harbour view” it’s a working port with containers being moved about. But technically it’s a harbour view. But Balamory it is not. I can’t fault this hotel in anyway.
