Hi, we enjoyed our stay but the room wasn’t clean. There was a lot of hair on the floor through the room and bathroom and old food crumbs that were there when we arrived and weren’t cleaned when we had the room reset. It did make us wonder how clean the rest of the room was when we saw that. We hope that feed back helps. Many thanks, Meagan Frewin

Convenient to MCEC , if you are comfortable walking through car parks and under the highway for 5 minutes at night. Great service . Check your statement carefully as they overcharges me for breakfasts, but rectified it promptly .

We will return here again and again!

The service and authenticity of the lovely staff stand out so much. We stayed two nights and it was a little admin bungle from our side that had it under 2 different names. From the outset Kevin in reception was just so lovely.. explained the error and how to fix it. Then my booking was for the next night and the last on reception was amazing at 9pm at night. We will return based on the property and its outstanding people, which lets face it can ruin even the best of accommodation. Well done AC Hotel. You were perfect!

The hotel itself was absolutely amazing. The DFO is a quick five minute walk which was amazing. The breakfast every morning is well worth the price and the staff each morning was lovely. Every part of our stay was top tier. I can't recommend this hotel enough. Seriously. They went above and beyond each day, even leaving a fruit bowl in our room halfway through the stay, and offering little lavender service that was super cool. I would definitely stay here again! 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.

Too good

Great city views. Close to the motorway. The hotel itself was beautiful. The room was great and the highlight was the restaurant. One of the best burgers I’ve had! The infinity pool at night was the cherry on top.
