Hotel looks a bit tired and worn-out but rooms were clean. Staff friendly but inconsistent with information.
Breakfast was great and the rooms were clean and quiet

Best part of the stay was the pool and the room size which quite generous, everything else was either underwhelming or disappointing. Fine for a place to rest your head for a night or two, but would not look to return due a number of issues across the board.
Breakfast was amazing and made the start of the day hassle free.

Great stay, perfectly located. Not too close to the esplanade that the noise affects you at night, and not too far that you need a cab. Friendly staff, courteous and helpful with booking attraction tickets.
