Excellent
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel was superb and the biggest choice of breakfast i think i have ever seen. The rooms are fresh and the bar area and reception are spacious.
We had a really pleasant stay
It would be helpful to have towel rails in bathroom and some coat hooks also. A small wasbasin in separate toilet would be good. Some instructions regarding the heating system would help.
Paid for parking than got fined, parking was a nightmare spaces you had to climb out the window to get out, the fine added insult to what was a joke. otherwise ok bar closed early.
The hotel is OK, it's owned by a cost cutting company. It has no character, it's purely functional. It is clean, the people working there are doing their best. The breakfast offering is appalling, just the cheapest, nastiest food substitutes, scrambled egg out of a pre-made bag and cheap nasty bread.
Room was really nice clean spacious with a fridge very comfortable bed. Only downside was the awful smell from the bathroom drains.
Staff were great and breakfast was excellent
We had a really warm, friendly welcome from the lady at the reception desk when we arrived. Our room was comfortable & clean. The rooms are big. There's not a hug amount if furniture in the rooms but it exactly as pictures show and funtional. The bar area was nice, very quiet but didn't bother us. We had a few games of Pool which was an unexpected nice touch. This hotel was everything I would expect for the money, if not more. Great location to walk to the Marina where we gad a lovely meal at the Bistro on the Quay!
