Emerald Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here before when it was a 24 hour hotel. Beautiful, large rooms. Mine was completely updated, because of competition it is now room only and a 12 hour reception. But my suite was huge, cheap.beautiful balcony onto river and just a fantastic family space. Glass lift. I have stayed in portside which is nice but i loved my couple of nights in the Emerald."
