Transfer

Great property. There are quite a bit of hills/stairs between train station and property. If traveling with heavy luggage, would highly recommend Uber.

Had a wonderful stay. Amazing buffet breakfast. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. About a 10 minute walk into town and the tram stop is just around the corner for getting to and from the airport. Would definitely stay again and recommend to other people.

If you could open the windows I'd review a lot higher, the ability to air rooms would mean a much better environment in the hotel, otherwise breakfast and the building are lovely.

We had 2 nights at the property recently and loved our stay. I need a quiet sleep and Voco Royal Terrace delivered. While only an easy 15 minute walk from most of the sights, it’s completely outside of the hustle and bustle, on a quiet street. We also thought the room was brilliant with high ceilings and plenty of space. We look forward to staying here again!

A decent stay at Voco!

Older style hotel that Volvo have down up to a decent standard. Lobby area and bar fantastic. Rooms are okay, beds are rather small and bathrooms haven’t been refurbished so they are looking tired. Good breakfast offering, very bad coffee machines… these need changing! Service overall from Voco team was welcoming and warm.
