No pool as advertised on Expedia. We pury chose this hotel for our stay to make use of the pool. Children were excited, went down in our swimgear only for reception to tell us the pool has been closed since May and they have frequently asked expedia to remove the pool from their adverts. Either way we were not aware of this and have paid a price for a hotel with a pool and sauna etc when actually we just had a room for 2 nights.

The food offerings were really poor. Only half the menu in the restaurant available. Poor quality food when it arrived. Room service breakfast cold and some ordered items not available. The room was ok for a one night stay.

Staff excellent, however its an older building and some of the main fittings are getting a little worn although the bed and furniture is all fine. No aircon was ok in september but I wouldnt go back when its higher temperatures. not even any biscuits to have with my tea. would probably save the money and book into the ibis or ibis budget across the carpark next time.

Staff really helpful organised taxis to centre. Clean room. Bathroom set up inconvenient with toilet on own and bath hard to get in and out of especially for older people. Extra cup and towel for the third person on sofa bed but not tea cup or hand towel. Convenient location.

Stayed overnight ready to join cruise ship the following day. Very convenient for the cruise terminal. Plenty of parking, quick check in. Room was a good size with fridge, complete with iron and safe. Everything you need for your stay. The toilet is separate from the bathroom which is ok but not much room. Wasn’t a huge variety on the menu for room service however I did have the soup of the day which was tomato. Homemade, piping hot when it arrived and was delicious. It was quick service with payment there and then so no waiting around to check out in the morning. Just drop your key in the drop off box and off you go. Very efficient! I would definitely stay here again.

NO swimming pool!! Cancel it if you are expecting

Hotel.com did not update the information of the amenities, the swimming pool of this hotel has been closed since the beginning of 2025. Many families with children are so disappointed for this. We booked this hotel based on the information on Hotel.com website
