Well located with easy access to ferry terminal and main business district. Property needs a little updating and maintenance, but rooms are large, clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to eat within easy walking distance.

I like that the bathroom sink in the room has drinking water facilities, so that people can drink freely. It's both environmentally friendly and convenient.

Very old building with bad sound insulation to traffic outside even though we were on the 20th floor. Mould around shower sealant and breakfast wasn’t great at all. I just went out to eat with kids!
