Reviews and Ratings

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

Leslie

United Kingdom, March 2024

7.4/10

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a magnificent view of the bay from my room and spotlessly clean accommodations. The hotel is split into different buildings, each offering unique vistas and floor plans. However, some maintenance is needed in certain areas. It was just what we needed for a night's stay, though I did find some cleanliness issues under the TV cabinet.

Rooms

8.0

The room had a magnificent view of the bay and was spotlessly clean, meeting our expectations for a comfortable stay. However, it did need a little bit of maintenance, and I found some cleanliness issues under the TV cabinet.

Service

7.0

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, which was greatly appreciated. However, there were a few instances where the service seemed unprofessional, especially during check-in when the receptionist had trouble finding our booking.

Location

9.0

The location was awesome, offering stunning views overlooking the water and being ideally situated within walking distance to supermarkets and eateries. However, the area could use a refresh, and there was some dust from outside throughout the place.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience was a bit disappointing with a limited breakfast offering of individually packaged white bread, rice bubbles, eggs, and homebrand bacon. While the traditional Irish pancakes were a nice touch, overall, the options were underwhelming.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities at the hotel were decent, with options like car hire, grocery shopping service, and tours/ticket assistance available for guests. However, there were no on-site restaurant facilities, and the available breakfast items were not satisfactory.

The hotel offers a variety of vistas and floor plans in clustered buildings but needs a good spruce up. The double glass sliding doors to the balcony made the room really cold. Despite being overpriced, the hotel did not meet our expectations.

The location is fantastic, close to supermarkets and various dining options. The proximity to the ferry terminal is convenient but lacks a friendly tone.

Facilities were advertised but not fully provided. The dining options did not meet standards, and the lack of essential services was evident.

The hotel offers a modern and clean room with a great view of the harbour and ocean, but the pricing may be considered overpriced. The service was a mix of friendly and helpful interactions on arrival, but there were unhelpful instances leaving room for improvement. The location is fantastic, providing accessibility to the Ferry and amenities, although some areas might need maintenance. The dining experience may fall short with limited food options despite promotion. Overall, a comfortable stay with areas that could be enhanced for better value.
