    delicious breakfast
    great location
    comfortable room
    poor wifi
    noisy guests

    Oh mate, the breakfast was a right treat! Proper poached eggs, crispy bacon, and sausages that hit the spot. Plus, the location is top-notch—just a short stroll to the dockyard. Can’t forget to mention the clean, comfy room that felt just right for us.

    Now, I had a bit of a bother with the WiFi dropping out and some noise from the other guests. But let’s be real, it didn’t ruin the fun of our stay!

    decent bathroom
    daily servicing
    outdated furniture
    stained carpet

    The Deluxe Family Room was decent but the furniture felt a bit outdated for the price we paid. The bathroom was nice, but the towel rail wasn’t warm. The carpet had some stains too. That said, the room was serviced daily, which I appreciated, and the staff were super helpful when my husband got sick. They really made sure we had what we needed.

    room comfort

    Excellent breakfast and ideal location

    We had a lovely stay with great convenience to the Historic Dockyard, just a short walk away. The breakfast was excellent with freshly cooked options, and we truly enjoyed the unique Japanese dinner one evening. The staff were very accommodating, and the included amenities made our experience even better. the room could have been more comfortable, as the bed arrangement wasn't ideal for a couple.

    Perfect spot for sightseeing!

    We just spent 3 nights in a double room and it was fab! The location was super handy for all the sights. Shopping just a stone's throw away. Breakfast was really good with loads to choose from. The staff were awesome, especially Max at reception. Only issue was the trains were noisy at times.
