Friendly staff at reception. Hotel in need of some upgrade, room door very hard to and had to ask housekeeper to show me. Central location is a plus point with lots of dining options. Close to attractions. Room views not the greatest and there aren’t many options to choose from anyway when booking. Overall okay.

I would highly recommend staying here. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The lounge/bar area is super cute and cozy. Our room was adorable, with a comfy bed. The location was ideal for all our adventures and walking around. With great views from the lounge. We didn't have a "view" from our room but that was one thing that we done care about as we were only ever there to sleep.

The staff work hard and make the property tick over. The hotel was clean and has nice views. For the price of one night stay in this hotel it would be nice to have a biscuit in the room and a nice mug instead of something plastic with no handle. The other issue is H&S: the socket for the plug to the kettle is situated under the desk which means the hot kettle has to sit on the edge of the table.

The room was what we needed and a great location. It was clean and quiet. Staff at the reception desk were all helpful. We were able to check our bags after check out to take one of our classes we had booked. There was no breakfast/snacks included but there was a restaurant on location (which we did not try).
