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.

A great place to stop if shopping at Gunwharf quays, lots of restaurants and bars too and buses to go further afield if you wish. A very pleasant stay at this hotel, clean, tidy room, a good breakfast and helpful staff.

This hotel is in a great location we thought the room was good clean but a little tired. Could do with a refresh. Breakfast was good and there was plenty of food. We would use again. The staff are really helpful.

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.

Overall we had an excellent stay, fantastic location centra to outlet, dock yards, restaurants, Spinnaker tower and the ferry to IOW. On the first night we when we got to the room we noticed some dry paint shavings that had fallen from the ceiling to the floor, staff were happy to love us to another room and apologised. Wayne in particular was extremely helpful and friendly as were the other front of house and manager. Car parking was in gunwharf quays. For breakfast you’re allowed to take away food in brown bags or while paper boxes which was helpful. The rooms are standard with a clean kettle and bed but we loved our stay. Would recommend.
