Will be back again.
Pros:

We liked the location of the hotel. Walking distance to the wharf. Hotel staffs are friendly. Love the hotel breakfast, it’s delicious.

Cons:

We stayed on the second floor. So we can heard the traffic and people shouting occasionally at night. Overall, it’s still bearable.

Incredibly noisy, couldn't sleep. A complete waste of money and time.
Pros:

The beds and linens wrecked exceptional. The door and reception staff were wonderful.

Cons:

The noise was the biggest issue and it completely ruined our stay. We couldn't sleep, it was dreadful. Before booking, I rang the hotel directly because I was looking for a relaxing holiday while still being close to the city. I specifically asked about noise levels and was told that the suites were quiet, although they were fully booked. The staff member suggested I try Booking.com or a similar site to secure a suite instead.
I've stayed in the heart of many major cities around the world, which is exactly why I made a point of asking about the noise before booking. In all my years of travelling, I've never experienced a hotel being so inaccurate about what guests could expect.
Unfortunately, this property is not suitable if you're looking for a peaceful or relaxing stay. Based on my experience, I would only recommend it to very young travellers who plan to be out until the early hours of the morning.
