Booked here for 1 night but extended for 1 extra night. Staff is very friendly, efficient and helpful. Has secured parking. Close to the waterfront 5min walk. Room service also available but closes at 9:30 pm. The rooms ate clean with new linen. Good no frills accommodation. Similar hotels at the waterfront will charge double price for the same service.

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon. Definitely not to be recommended. The hotel works mainly with tour groups and about two bus loads are arriving every day. This means that you will be woken up at early morning hours by people rattling their suitcases across the wooden floors. Shame because the hotel with its wooden construction is very... More

A very good 3 star hotel with friendly and efficient service. Comfortable rooms and real value for moeny. Breakfast could be a little bit better, as you got the sister hotel opposie. Group hotel, therefore it could be noisy at times. Position excellent for Waterfront

Dirty, smelly, and the sofa even for small children really uncomfortable, pictures at the website looks much better. Good things: friendly staff an extraordinary look location, and free wi-fi. if you don't mind that looks and feel dirty, but if you travel with small children like us, I will not recomend

We meant to stay for 1 night but ended up staying 3 nights. Friendly caring staff, nothing is too much trouble for them. Beautiful inside garden and great pool to sit and have a drink. The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to everything. See you next year!

Last year we stayed at the Waterfront, this year we stayed at the Graywood, which is only a short walk from the waterfront and much cheaper. It was a lovely hotel, with great facilities, great pool, great breakfast and everything about the place was wonderful. This was such good value and such a good choice in such a good location,...

Very small room which also had a sofa bed in it as it was classed as a family room. The sofa bed was too short even for the children so we decided not to stay here and moved to the log inn hotel across the road. A very budget hotel with no frills. The photos on the web site are... More
