A great location but don’t expect a warm welcome. You pay for the location.

7.0

On the harbour front this is a great place to sit and watch the world go by on a sunny day.

The staff really didn’t seem to be interested in us and weren’t that friendly. The breakfast was ok but really nothing special with it only offering a continental option and the smallest processed croissants I have ever seen. Considering they are by a harbour and have access to fresh fish as well as other fresh produce from the area, the breakfast was a huge let down. We had better from a glamping site the night before. The room was lovely but there was a lot of light from fairly transparent curtains and lights in corridors left on all night. Gaps in the door frame made the room feel like we were lit up from every angle. The sink was tiny and the shelf above it was wonky which meant it couldn’t be used as everything slid off! Consequently even the hand-wash they provided was on the other side of the room. The toilet handle didn’t work properly either and needed fixing. There was also no hot water through the sink tap.

Comfortable bed. Shower was hot and cold whilst in it. Breakfast not included. Very basic but perfect location

Welcoming staff with a bargain breakfast, but don't expect the best sleep or a refreshed towel.

5.0

The staff were lovely, welcoming, friendly and informative about the area such as events, museums and the best restaurants to go to for food. The continental breakfast was a bargain for the price!

The room was not cleaned everyday, the towels were not refreshed, the room and bathroom felt dated and it was dirty. Did NOT sleep very well due to the constant noice coming from the cold store / chilling unit in the hotel, which we suspect was below our bedroom.
