I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in this city. The cleanliness was exceptional, with everything well-presented and spotless. The hotel facilities were excellent, and the staff went above and beyond in their hospitality. The location was perfect, as it was close to the town centre and just a short distance from the Tower and the Opera House. Additionally, the breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from.

We had a fantastic time at this hotel! The cleanliness was impeccable, from the spotless rooms to the pleasant smelling dining area. The superior room we booked was incredibly comfortable and spacious, with a king size and single bed. The location was perfect, as it was within walking distance of the shopping center, Sea Life, and Madam Tussauds. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, making us feel like we were part of their family.
