Our stay was marred by our poor check-in experience with the duty manager, who, after apologising for keeping us waiting to check-in, then proceeded to answer a telephone call and keep us waiting for a further five minutes. His manner was also somewhat perfunctory, rather than friendly. We had a good-sized room, but the bathroom was a little tired, especially the plastic shower unit. We were also surprised to find that we were charged extra for our espresso coffees at breakfast.

Good hotel in business area of the city but walkable to all attractions. Very clean and quiet. We didn’t eat in the restaurant. There are facilities including a sink, microwave, and dishwasher. We just used the tea, coffee and milk provided. Good quality toiletries provided. We had conflicting advice from different staff about checking in for the ferry. We should have stuck to Gary’s advice to leave later as we were very early and almost last off!
