Harbour view excellence
fabulous viewtasty rangeattentive staffgreat shower
The location provided fabulous views to wake up to. i slept very well . A range of tasty options were available for breakfast and included in the room price. Attentive staff made it a friendly environment. The shower was great in a very smart bathroom.
The sound insulation was not perfect, so i could hear some noise from the room next door.

i enjoyed the superb double room. it had a very cozy atmosphere. the high-quality tea and coffee in the room made my mornings better (i really enjoyed the coffee!).
the room was quite small and that was a bit disappointing. also, i noticed some tired decor and a lack of a bedside light. the restaurant tables felt a bit sticky, which wasn't the best.
