I had an amazing stay with a fabulous harbour view. The location is so close to everything for a great break. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the dining experience could be improved. The service was top-notch, and I enjoyed the separate entrance to rooms as the pub closed early. The facilities were great, but it could be pricey for some.

The hotel offers a fabulous harbor view and very spacious bathrooms with comfortable beds. The rooms boast a beautiful view, but some areas might need improvement. The service is exceptional with top-notch housekeeping and a delightful happy hour. The location is ideally situated in the Barbican area, directly opposite the harbor, and even features a separate entrance due to early closing times. The dining experience, although included and offering grilled food, could have a bit more variety. Overall, it's a great choice with lovely facilities.

The hotel offers fantastic harbour views and a very spacious bathroom. The location is great for enjoying the waterfront and is opposite a vibrant pub. The service was top-notch with excellent housekeeping and a delightful happy hour. However, the dining experience is a bit lacking with only fried fish available. Despite some shortcomings, the facilities are modern and satisfactory.
