Our room wasn't available when we first arrived but a friendy staff member switched our room and we were able to check in at 10am. Additionally, the breakfast and restaurant are quite nice. Nice quality food and atmosphere.

At first appearance the modern decor looks lovely but once you get in your room you realize that it is quite worn as is the entire hotel. (bathrooms tiles rusty, white closet door scratched up with black marks, all wooden trim and desk was scratched up) The most disappointing part was that the TV channels all come in broken up - something was wrong with the satellite the entire time we were there.

Overall: Best part of the hotel is the location therefore I do recommend this hotel. The things that were bad don't matter unless you plan to actually spend time in the hotel rather than just sleeping there.  (108402734)

very comfortable bed and nice size rooms.

Communal area/meeting points directly outside room, incredibly noisy. We were told that this was a superior room (presumably because of the view), however, due to the noise levels associated with its location, i don't think you should charge people more to stay in it. I also thought the shower was in a really weird position as it just sprayed all over the rest of the bathroom. I thought the standard room which we were moved to was far nicer.

Overall: unfortunately we had a very poorly appointed room and a very poor nights sleep the first night (it was on the street side and there was a communal area/ meeting point directly outside the room. However, we asked to move rooms and we were very satisfied with the second room. The staff were apologetic and pleasant and that was all fine.  (107418236)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
