Rest and relax
The room overlooking the water is so tranquil and relaxing it’s much better and worth the extra money. Weather permitting it’s like a very peaceful retreat with great views across harbour and mountains

Decent accommodation by the waterfront.
Great location right on the waterfront. All attractions are in walking distance. Reception and information was not very helpful. Beanbag chairs were a nice touch for sitting by the water.

Great place to unwind
Stayed in a waterfront room. Great place to stay. Gorgeous outlook, nice to sit, relax and unwind. Handy to everything. Helpful staff. Bed a bit too soft for me, but that's just personal preference. Would stay again.

The studio was fantastic with the lovely view. Large windows and a patio door leading to a balcony. The design was well thought out. One of the best accommodation I had stayed in. Very peaceful and quiet but it was a Thursday night and in August. Wish we could stay longer but we had to fly back to UK.
