This was my first stay at Horizon and I would definitely stay here again. The room was a good size, the bed comfy and it was very quiet. We dined at Masu and the food was phenomenal. There are a lot of good options for dining and entertainment very close by.

Very nice hotel. The breakfast is below average and expensive for what it is. We also made a reservation at the grill downstairs but they were fully booked and couldn’t accomodate us.

Perfect hotel.

This is a 5 star hotel in every way. Wonderful rooms, great restaurant for breakfast and dinner, and perfect location. As it’s directly across the road from the bus terminal you can make use of the Sky Shuttle. Whilst this wasn’t the most expensive hotel (approx £140 per night) it was certainly the best.
