I found the hotel to have some drawbacks in terms of room size and noise levels from neighboring guests, making it not ideal for a long stay. However, the staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in and out hassle-free. The location was excellent, close to the city center and within walking distance of key attractions.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, though comfortable, had very small bathrooms, and the possibility of queuing for shared facilities was not appealing. On the bright side, the friendly service with a personalized touch made my stay more pleasant.

I stayed in a cozy cottage behind the pub which could use some updating, but it was a clean and sufficient place for a budget-friendly stay. The rooms were well-maintained and had all the essentials. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, truly making the stay pleasant. The location was ideal, close to key attractions but tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The dining options were varied and convenient with value for money. Overall, a decent stay with minor room for improvement.

The hotel had a prime location close to key attractions but suffered from food odors due to proximity to a pub. The rooms were small but suitable for short stays, though a bit chilly at night. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the overall experience enjoyable. The dining options were limited as the hotel didn't have an onsite restaurant, but numerous eateries were easily accessible nearby.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The location was superb, just a short walk from Gunwharf and close to the seafront. The rooms, though clean and comfortable in the adjacent cottage, were a bit stuffy due to being on a busy road. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff.
