I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect for enjoying long walks and exploring local restaurants. The rooms were well presented and immaculate, though the shared entry made it a bit noisy at times. The staff were quite friendly and engaging, but still felt a bit inexperienced. I would say it provides good value for money, but there’s room for improvement in some areas.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a separate bedroom and lounge area, perfect for both short and long stays. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is ideal, just a short walk from various shops and a dining room. However, the noise from the nearby lift can be quite disruptive in the mornings, and the dining experience fell short due to limited meal options.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was great, right on the river and close to restaurants, the service could use improvement, which made my stay less comfortable than I'd hoped. The rooms were beautiful but felt a bit tired, and dining left something to be desired with slow service and plain food. Overall, there's potential here, but some areas need attention.

However, I found the dining hours a bit lacking since breakfast started too late for my work schedule.

I had a decent stay at this hotel with its spotlessly clean rooms and great pool. The location can't be beaten, right on the river and close to parks and shops. However, the rooms could be more spacious and the dining options left a bit to be desired.

This hotel offers a lot of positives, like a great location along the river and spacious, clean rooms. The staff was friendly and the amenities were fantastic, especially the pool. However, there were a few downsides, like some noise from the pool level and a couple of service hiccups during dining. Still, overall, it feels like good value for money.

I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. The location is excellent, right by the river and within walking distance to shops and restaurants, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the room had too much outside light coming in, making it difficult to sleep, and the dining options were somewhat lacking. Overall, it offers good value for money, but some improvements could make it much better.

The room I stayed in was comfortable, but I struggled with too much light coming from the outside walkways, which made it tough to sleep at night. Additionally, there were some sharp bits sticking out between the tiles and carpet that could use some attention.

The hotel offers a beautiful view over the river and is in a peaceful location, which I really appreciated. The rooms have a good amount of space, but I found some oddities like sharp bits sticking out and cold air blowing onto the bed. The service was friendly and attentive, although the noise from doors slamming in the morning was a downside. Overall, it’s a decent stay if you're looking for a quiet place, though there are some quirks that could use improvement.

I recently stayed at this hotel and loved its great location near the town center, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms were spacious and clean, plus I had a lovely view of the harbour. However, the service didn't quite meet my expectations, as the staff seemed uninformed about customer service and parking wasn't guaranteed. Overall, I felt the hotel offered good value for money despite a few shortcomings.
