Nice room but check-in was confusing. This is a restaurant/bar with a few hotel rooms - signage to check in goes to an eating area, nobody around until a bartender in the other room alerted someone. Otherwise it was a good stay!
Fantastic hotel in the perfect location for a quick trip to the airport. Hotel meal and drinks were wonderful. Rooms are clean and comfortable. A great find - will choose here every time over the more expensive hotels near the airport.
The staff were great. You have to order room service at the bar and then bring it up to you however which could be something to note. However, the staff are really friendly and overall was a good experience. The TV connection in the room was a bit glitchy a shame specially during World Cup.
Not only is the General Gordon in a super convenient and quit location, the pub and beer garden below go off. Aside from the location and vibes, the rooms are spacious, quaintly styled, and the bathrooms are stunning with a fresh renovation. On-top of it all the beds are consistently comfy and the process for checking in and out couldnt be easier. Will definitely be staying again.
