Comfortable and well appointed room. The breakfast option was good value. Location was very easy to get to from ferry
Pros:

Close to ferry terminals and quick walking distance to dinner / meal / food options.

Cons:

Desk and chair located right in front of tv so you could not do any work at the desk with the tv on …. (Western problems I know).

Great value for money
Pros:

All the staff were super super lovely and helpful with recommendations. The breakfast was very nice. I booked the suite dreams and it was very spacious. Great value for money.

Cons:

Walk in wardrobe could have been smaller so the bathroom was bigger. It was a shame the restaurant was closed, it would be nice if the website and booking could be updated to reflect this
