What people say

Absolutely perfect location. Best location in Waterfront - set slightly above waterfront so has stunning views and feels like a preaceful haven, but is only a 2 minute walk down to all the action. The hotel itself is lovely with beautifully designed bedrooms and gorgeous grounds. The staff all added a personal touch with the door men addressing you by name every time you come and go and the breakfast staff remembering of you prefer tea or coffee!.
