The reception staff and breakfast staff were excellent. Courteous and helpful and really friendly. Location of the hotel is good for walking down to the harbour and the city centre. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Hotel was quiet and we had a good night’s sleep.

Very nice staff. Very basic room with single glazing onto a busy road and poorly sealed too, but the room was warm despite it being 0 degrees outside and it was clean. The bed was soft and unstructured - probably old. Breakfast was pretty so-so.
