The location of the hotel was great, close to downtown and everything we needed. The room we stayed in was comfortable and clean, with spacious and spotless beds. The breakfast offered a variety of options, including juices, cereals, fruit, and a cooked breakfast. The staff was helpful and friendly, providing excellent service. We also enjoyed the calm and peaceful environment of the hotel.

There was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in the entrance and foyer of the hotel.

Spent a wonderful Christmas at this hotel! The room was spotless and well-appointed with a convenient mini fridge and hot pot for tea. Great location close to supermarkets and restaurants, with the waterfront within walking distance. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the fact that the room had plenty of space for our family and the water pressure in the shower was amazing!

There were a few downsides to our stay. Although we did not encounter any unsafe situations, we felt that walking around the area after dark could be a bit risky, as some of the restaurants close early.

United Kingdom, February 2023

We had a fantastic stay! The rooms were huge and had all the usual toiletries, coffee/tea, and a microwave. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel provided secure parking in a fenced and gated area. It was only a short walk to the Waterfront where there are many restaurants and we felt quite safe walking back in the dark.

Was all great.
