Super hotel with very minor inconveniences
Excursion15797197191 (Ewloe, United Kingdom) on Apr 23, 2025
When we arrived we waited an hour to check in, this is a poor first impression and the check in queues always seemed to be huge. This needs sorting. However, the rest of our stay was great. Pools fantasti...c, two large ones with plenty of sun beds, towels and lifeguards. Our room was cleaned daily and spotless - sadly no wardrobe space which was a pain as a family of 4 however we coped. On 6th floor tower 1 with a good view and no noise. The hotel is busy however it’s large enough to incorporate everyone (except check in!) transport buses always there never seemed to have to wait and were worth their weight in gold - worth it just for this! If you’ve booked, don’t be off put by poor reviews as it is fab - but ask for middle floor (5/6/7) and prepare for a long wait to check in!
Family Friendly and Convenient

Despite others complaints in the review section, we had a great time at dockside. Bus service to Universal Parks was excellent. Busses run constantly. Accommodations were good. Shower was hot, room was cle...aned daily, staff was friendly, and checkout was simple. We did NOT have issues with noise or beds being uncomfortable like others stated. The only thing I would minus a star for would be 1) Check in was simple but the lines LONG and 2) Breakfast Cafe was efficient but a bit pricey for just a-ok food. (Price for convenience.) FYI conviently located nearby is a Walgreens and an IHOP. Both in walking distance if you need them. Overall our experience was great and we would definitely stay at this location again.
