    helpful staff
    noisy accommodation

    Friendly staff, but loud nights

    The staff were incredibly helpful, always ready to assist. The location was great, just a short stroll to the vibrant waterfront area where we enjoyed some local cuisine.

    Our nights were disrupted by noise from a nearby cleaning room, making it difficult to rest. The lack of soundproofing in the modest rooms was disappointing.

    great location
    limited breakfast options

    We had a canny time here! The staff were proper friendly and sorted us out fast when we fancied a room change. The location was spot on—just a quick walk to the waterfront. Just a shame about the limited breakfast options, though!

    clean floor
    lack of privacy

    secure parking, modern facilities, fantastic location

    The bathroom door offers zero privacy!!! The floor isn't impeccably clean, leading to blackened feet after a short walk. Needs a better-stocked bar and late-night communal sitting options!!!

    comfortable bed
    friendly staff
    small pool
    unconventional breakfast
    lack of ambiance

    The large hotel room was well equipped, featuring an incredibly comfortable bed and lovely bedding. The restaurant provided a delightful breakfast experience with friendly and efficient staff, though breakfasting in the adjacent café was a bit unconventional. Cleanliness was consistent, but the small pool area lacked a spectacular atmosphere and could use some enhancements. Very convenient location for accessing local restaurants and the waterfront made this stay enjoyable.
