Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: excellent location on the waterfront with great view of the harbour. Front desk and hotel staff where very nice, helpful and made the stay special.

Negative: Lower floor rooms at the front of the hotel are over a public bar so can be loud until closing time plus their is a night club down the street and taxi rank opposite the hotel that can make the street loud until 2pm at the weekend. Weekday its ok just an issue at the weekend.
