    Hotel very close to the center, accessible in a 10-minute walk. Great parking space. Small but functional room The Hotel provides customers with coffee, tea, milk and cake in the breakfast room during the afternoon. Breakfast is not accompanied, leading to some products missing at the end.

    We had a very bad wifi signal. We had to use our own data. The shower's pipes were emitting an unpleasant smell and the shower curtain would get pulled into the shower while taking a shower. The breakfast was not as diverse as we would have expected from a hotel.

    We liked how quiet it was. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very spacious. There was free coffee/tea at all times and the personnel were friendly. There was also a game room close to the breakfast area that anyone could use. Free parking on site.

    The only thing was that the staff was trying to be helpful but then there was some confusion when we asked for help booking our flybus ride to the airport. I would recommend just doing it on your own online.

    Good location walkable to harbor and downtown. Comfortable beds with cozy blankets, good breakfast. No hot water kettle in the room but there was hot water, tea and cake out in the restaurant in the evening

    Bathrooms were a problem. My toilet stopped flushing on first morning but had been repaired by the time I came back as room had been serviced. My brother couldn't get the shower in his room to work properly. Breakfast was adequate and a reasonable choice but absence of any hot food was a bit of a disappointment. Location of hotel was fine for us and we knew where it was when we booked but it probably wouldn't suit everyone.

    Parking facilities are excellent. Free WiFi worked perfectly.

    The common areas of the hotel were in good condition but there were a few things in need of repair in our room. The shower head holder was broken and one section of the curtain was hanging off.

    The hotel was very relaxed and welcoming. There was a good selection for breakfast. Tea and coffee facilities were available at any time with cake in the evening. The location was convenient for bus meet ups and getting into city centre. The boys enjoyed playing the games available.
