"A lovely spacious room with all the facilities you would expect in a great location. Cleaning services were very reliable and replaced everything we used daily. The check in was made very easy and the staff took the time to point out places to eat get coffee and places to go. Only small negative was the space between the bed and the wall on one side. Would definitely recommend."

8/10 Good
"Great place on the waterfront. Loved the fact they have a 9:30PM to 05:00M “night owl menu” that includes great carb heavy options if you’ve been out drinking or granola and yoghurt if you have to get up super early, before the official breakfast starts. Fair value for money. Would stay there again. Just a shame the room doors are so heavy that it wakes you up when someone shuts the door down the corridor even though no one is slamming them."
