Great location after cruise docking 5 min walk away. Hotel was great at keeping luggage until room was ready in the afternoon. Room was OK but bathroom really needed updating (stayed at this hotel 2 years ago and must have been given a renoed room on a lower floor which was much more acceptable.

The room is very old, with the prices you are charging I would at least expect some movies or streaming on your TVs. I think I will be staying somewhere else next time. The staff were helpful. The room we had, had very little air conditioning, even though it was on 17*C and it was hot. We asked to be moved and after a couple of hours we were moved. The rooms need to be updated even a paint job would improve the look. It was actually decorated like a 60s hotel. The position is great and as I said the staff were nice.
