Strand Suites By Neu Collective

Good option if you need two sleeping areas (family). Building modern but sparse. Pool (tiny and not for swimming anyway) and aircon not available in December (it was unusally warm). Larger pool available short walk away. Area OK and easy access to ferries and taxis.

First of all when my husband booked this he thought he was booking into a family suite in the main hotel and not into a separate apartment block around the corner. The apartment itself was good if you could pick it up and place it elsewhere. There was a large terrace balcony but it was overlooked by the back of other buildings and had a crane overhead. It was also very dusty from building work. Amenities and the maid service were good but the main hotel is also under renovation so there is no terrace restaurant and splash pool available until July. Plug sockets are UK but please take a shaving adapter with you as the hairdryer is 2 prong and I was to D it was ok to plug onto a uk socket. There is one euro plug socket but nowhere near a mirror. We booked this last minute to meet up with another party and it was the nearest location otherwise we would have gone elsewhere.

We were originally booked to stay in one of the apartments around the corner and down the street, but after seeing the ongoing construction and experiencing firsthand the workmen’s noise early on the first morning, we decided to ask if we could be moved to a higher floor or a family suite in the hotel. Lo and behold,we were shown a fantastic, third floor, sea view unit which was quite accommodating. Great service all around and great location. THANX !!
