Good location & value, comfortable rooms, but the walls are paper-thin...
Pros:

The assistant manager on check-in was brilliant, went the extra mile to be especially helpful in what was at the time a stressful situation (booking.com relocating), however the lady in reception the following morning was the exact opposite: unfriendly and unhelpful.

Cons:

Paper-thin walls, could hear clearly every time the guest next door peed or farted during the night, which unfortunately was very frequently in both cases!

Comfortable hotel in a good location with great restaurant
Pros:

Handy location close to shops and esplanade. Great dinners at the hotel restaurant

Cons:

I stayed twice in June. My room in the first trip was on level 6 and had a newer bathroom and good view. My room during second stay was on level 2 and had an older bathroom and a view of a car park. Luck of the draw I guess.
