My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spacious and quiet despite being in a central location, equipped with air conditioning, and kept spotless by the extremely helpful staff. However, the bathroom needed modernization and the shower temperature was inconsistent. Additionally, the room overlooked a flat roof where noisy seagulls nested, impacting the peace at times.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were lovely and quiet, thanks to the secondary glazing, but I was taken aback by the high bill for a simple breakfast. The bistro dinner was great though, and the breakfast the next day was excellent.

My stay at the hotel was beyond expectations with a great layout and a very comfy hot tub. However, the room became too warm and uncomfortable throughout the night due to the heating. The view overlooking a flat roof with the entire Aberdump seagull nesting population was not ideal.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel despite a few minor issues. The rooms were spacious and quite quiet for being in such a central location, although it was a bit too hot for comfort in January as it was too cold outside to keep the windows open. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel's location was excellent, right in the middle of the city within a short walk of all the main attractions and shopping areas. The dining experience could be improved with more variety in the offerings, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
