Fantastic location just off Queen Street. Nice and quiet plus very clean inside. Excellent breakfast too. Would definitely stay again in future!
Janine, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Short sightseeing stay.

Spent 6 nights here having arrived from Ireland. The Hotel is very central and just off one of the main shopping street of Queens Street and 10 minute walk down to the ferry port and The Viaduct area. Ok, the bed was a bit hard and the breakfast limited but for the price and location well worth it. Reception staff were very helpful and pleasant.

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was perfect! I have low scored the cleaners because our room has never been dusted or hovered. A part from that everything has been perfect! Great breakfast. Spotless buffet. All waiting staff very efficient use clean as you go, and they are very helpful! I also want to thank Pam from the reception this morning as she helped me so kindly to contact our shuttle service even if I already had checked out. She also was very helpful sorting my room key as I was up and down all the lifts trying to get to my floor. Thank you Pam. Please acknowledge the fact that Pam has helped in such a calm and friendly way, when I was so stressed.
