Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean and able to open the window for fresh air, felt a bit narrow and noisy. The lovely and clean rooms were slightly let down by the extremely small bathrooms. However, the value for money was reasonable.

The hotel's rooms are basic but have everything you need with a clean, comfy bed; however, the shower room felt too small and cramped, resembling that of a car ferry. Despite the limited space, the small shower often led to a wet floor. The room could get uncomfortably hot as it was on the ground floor and leaving the window open overnight wasn't ideal.

The hotel was perfect for us due to mobility issues, with very helpful staff and a great location overlooking Queen's Dock. The room, although small, was still spacious and suitable for a short stay. The only downside was the excessively small room size.

The hotel is a good option if you're not on a tight budget, offering a fun and affordable weekend getaway. The rooms might be a bit noisy due to traffic, and some are small with bunk beds that limit space. The staff is generally friendly, especially Evellyn and Sandra, but the service is no-frills. The location is convenient, within walking distance of many attractions, though sound isolation needs improvement. The dining experience, while having friendly service, could use more variety and better value for the money. Overall, a decent choice with a few drawbacks to consider.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were really clean and the beds were comfortable, providing a great view. Everything we needed was available, and the spotless environment was impressive. Being right next to the stairwell was convenient. However, the water in the room was occasionally too small, causing it to overflow to the toilet floor. The location was a bit further than expected, but it wasn't a deal-breaker, especially with free parking available. The dining experience was worth every penny, with a lovely one-night stay overlooking the water. The price was excellent, and the evening meal was top-notch.
