"Clean rooms, nice and quiet. Although this may have been because I requested an upper floor. But that request was granted as was our request to check out at midday. The hotel was very accommodating and the staff very helpful. The only downside is that it is about a 15-20min walk to the centre of town, but we didn’t find that a major drawback and walked everywhere. I highly recommend this property."

"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."
