Mollie-jayne, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

All round very good convenient hotel. Very comfortable
Tracey, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Nice hotel, clean and with polite staff, but if you list air conditioning among the amenities, it can’t just be a “cooling system” — and above all, if this is pointed out, you can’t simply say the technician won’t be able to come before tomorrow. The room was nice as well, but the fundamental duty of a hotel is to ensure a good night’s rest, and in this it failed because the room was too hot and the air conditioning (listed among the hotel’s amenities) was not actually there.
Andrea, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good value for money
Sharon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. It was right by the wharf, and had a beautiful view of the water. It’s close to the city centre, about a 10 minute walk, so that was convenient.
Gillian, 3-night trip
