    We had a right lovely stay! The industrial design's a proper standout, and the food? Absolutely brilliant! Breakfast was fresh and tasty. Only downside was the service slowed us down a bit, had to ask a few times for things. But overall, we had a fab time!

    noisy areas
    communication issues

    The Seahorse Suite offered stunning views and a luxurious tub, complemented by complimentary champagne, which made the honeymoon experience memorable. The hot stone massages were a highlight, especially with a mid-week discount, and the included breakfast was absolutely delicious. service at times could be slow, which detracted from the otherwise lovely stay. the layout of the hotel with certain rooms overlooking potentially noisy areas might necessitate better communication from staff about sound levels.

    the unique design of the hotel truly stands out, and the staff were incredibly accommodating , adding a bottle of sparkling wine to our room. the breakfast options were fresh, featuring both a buffet and made-to-order menu.

    slow service

    The Turbine Hotel's setup is compelling, mixing industrial history with fashionable decor, creating an inviting atmosphere. Delightful spa treatments add a perfect touch to relaxation after enjoying views of the wetlands. While breakfast had great variety. its presentation could use improvement. Friendly staff enhanced our experience significantly.

    gastro pub
    unique decor
    decor issue

    Had an amazing time with friends! The gastro pub is a great spot for post-dinner drinks and catching the latest games. The atmosphere is fun, and the staff was attentive. The breakfast was delicious, and the unique decor adds to the vibe of this cool hotel. Would definitely return!

    Noticed some minor decor issues like masking tape left on the wall. It didn't ruin our stay, but you'd expect more attention to detail from a hotel at this level.

    slow service

    great ambiance , but service could be improved

    The hotel design is impressive, creating a chic atmosphere that feels both modern and welcoming. The cocktails were a delight, expertly crafted and better priced than nearby options. The view from our lake view room was breathtaking, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.

    Service at times felt slow, which was a tad frustrating.
