The view was spectacular. The location was very strategic: an IGA and asian groceries next door with quite a selection for supplies and food, a 5-minute walk to a tram stop (for various routes) and surrounded by restaurants to dine in. All in all a very good stay!

We were not informed of needing a 500 holding deposit from my credit card until i had arrived. It was very inconvenient. There was no manager available to speak to and it wasnt just me that had the problem so did another couple that were also trying to check in.

The decoration pillows on the couch were smelling a little damp. But minor detail only, certainly did not affect the overall satisfaction staying at AKOM Docklands.
The view was spectacular. The location was very strategic: an IGA and asian groceries next door with quite a selection for supplies and food, a 5-minute walk to a tram stop (for various routes) and surrounded by restaurants to dine in. All in all a very good stay!

Pool was a bit small. Docklands has not yet become an exciting location for shopping or recreation.
Terrific location in Docklands on the edge of the city with the benefit of a scenic location; various interesting nearby restaurants; free tram travel to the city; excellent access to motorways; economical parking. The accommodation itself had adequate gym facilities and a pool. Also accommodation on different levels. Great access to walking and cycling.
