I've stayed in several hotels over the past few years but The Gibson has been hands down THE best! My first contact with the hotel was on their Facebook page, my flights were booked for early morning arrival, hours earlier than check in time, so I was enquiring as to whether my luggage could be stored somewhere, as it was a late night message I received a reply first thing in the morning to say it would not be a problem - we arrived for just after 10 and it turned out that we didn't need to store the cases as our room was ready on arrival, and boy what a room!!! So spacious and clean, with a massive comfortable bed, the bathroom was spotless with an option of two shower types as well.
The hotel itself is massive, on ground level entry you are greeted to either the choice of the grand escalators straight ahead or the glass elevators to your right - reception is on the 3rd floor, the lift is the quickest of the two but the escalators lead you closer to reception desks. The third floor also has the hotel bar and restaurants - the food is amazing, would highly recommend it but you would need to book a table in advance as it was very busy on the night.
As a non-driver I was really impressed with the public transport choices close by the hotel - the tram stop is literally a 1 minute walk away from the front of the hotel that will take you through the city centre. Taxis are usually available at the front of the hotel in the evening as well.
If you are looking for a hotel close to the 3 arena then you can't get any closer - it's straight facing the hotel, perfect!!!
One last thing was the friendly service at reception on both arrival - advising to book a table for our evening meal, and departure - with an early evening flight we didn't really want to be carrying our cases around the busy city centre, there were no issues for safely storing our cases for several hours while we mooched around one last time.
All in all I cannot recommend The Gibson Hotel enough, a wonderful hotel that made a special weekend even more memorable
