Everything is really good here, had a pleasant overnight stay on the' guest experience'. Thanks to all friendly efficient staff. The restaurant food is good, and the breakfast offered is large with cook to order and bacon. Its location is fantastic and beautiful in an unconcealed area to the right of reception.

Safe hotel, it has outstanding views and amazing location in the main restuarant which unfortunately was over heated. The rooms are airy and modern and the continental breakfast offered has variety of dishes. The main bar makes the hot drinks.

The hotel was absolutely great and brilliant, truly enjoyed the harbour view from our double room. There was amazingly great staff and the service was helpful. The room we had included a lounge area, a balcony, and a settee. The breakfast was surprisingly good and tasty, they served it at the restaurant.
The staff were very inexperienced, didn't expect that coming.
