8/10 Very good

Room and staff great. Very good food. Buzzing atmosphere. But aware of you book the rooms in Harbour View you do not get a harbour view!! It us just the name of the building! To get a view of the harbour you need to book one of the 2 superior rooms.

6/10 Good

The (small and without a view) room had been recently modernised and decorated. It was adequate for our stay of 2 nights. The staff were helpful, courteous and efficient. The breakfast was a mixture of good and not so good. It was certainly plentiful and the ‘starter’of granola and exotic fruits was something else. On the down side, the fruit juice was watery and over-sweet. Also, the chef could perhaps turn the gas down a little when grilling the bacon. All in all it was a very satisfying experience and there was no need for a supplement before lunch.
