The hotel is well located- comfortable large rooms with a great view of the water and the boats. Check in at 4 pm and luggage store meant you could get out and about. Breakfast is like a zoo- there is a huge amount of food to choose from, but no plates, no tables to sit down and so it takes a while. Getting a drink in the bar is difficult. Nice staff when you see them- just not enough of them.

The staff were very friendly and helpful The room, though it wasn’t big was enough for 2 people Great view of the waterfront The breakfast was lovely. Absolutely anything that you could want.

Lovely clean room with stunning view. Centrally placed hotel. Staff were friendly, especially the restaurant staff. Breakfast was so good, with plenty to choose from, the fresh breads were amazing. We payed for dinner at the restaurant and cannot fault the buffet or the wine line. Would definitely recommend and stay here again

We had a fantastic time, the breakfast is a must (and a great way to start the day!). The rooms are a little small but they’re manageable. Staff are all lovely. Perfect location to be central. Would 100% stay again.

The staff were very friendly and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The hotel has a good location, unfortunately you have to cope with the ship's noise. We were last time in the other side of the hotel and there you heard it less! The new cleaning system is good for the environment and the hotel, unfortunately the customer does not benefit from this system because the prices are not reduced
