Well positioned hotel, as a 15 min walk to gunwarf quays. Pool and steam an added bonus. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. The hotel kindly gave us a permit to park the car on the road as the car park was full at times. Room clean and comfortable bed. Very warm amd aircon not working. It was late when we returned to the room so I didnt wish to change rooms as offered. Was given a fan quickly.

I paid too too much for the room! It’s not worth it but I stay here for the location and nothing else! Car park fee is ridiculous!!! Next year I’ll be charged to breathe! You spend less than 24 hrs in the hotel but pay £120 to sleep ridiculous!
