Excellent view from our 7th floor room over the harbour. Room was spacious and clean. Easy walking distance to the cruise ship terminal. The only minor negative was the mildew around the bath/sink and floor tile. We would certainly stay here again.

Great location, handy for all transport links (although not airport direct) and lots of restaurants. Awesome markets on the weekend. Hotel itself is very dated and rooms quite small and worn out. Amazing views from our room and rooftop, UNTIL a cruise ship turns up and then that locks everything. Very disappointed about this as paid extra to stay there and have a room with a view and then the view was blocked most of the time. The price should be adjusted down because of this. Very noisy Friday and Saturday nights with the bars and restaurants playing very loud music until the early hours of the morning and this as helped by the windows not being sealed.
