Great place to stay
We happened to get to the hotel at around 10am and the staff was very helpful in setting up us with a room near the elevator as well as keeping our luggage so we could explore the city. When we got to the room, we were surprised at how large it was and had windows on two sides since we were put into a corner room. We only stayed one night but the hotel is right on the waterfront and nearby to everything needed.

Breakfast good. Great location - except distance from inconvenient car park. This property was on midst of change to Garner. Room was Rey good but public areas poor - stairs dark. No lift!
It would have been very useful to know the location was pedestrian only, and about the walk to the hotel AND that it had been rebranded!

The hotel reception is in another building a street away. We had no information about this. Then when we eventually established where reception was there was no one there - anther 10 minutes waiting. It was really disappointing.
Breakfast is nice though there aren’t enough tables. You stand around waiting and are then doubled up with other guests.
Rooms are clean and tidy.

We were never told before we arrived that they are in the middle of a renovation and ownership exchange. The new name is already on the wall so we walked five times past it until it occurred to me to ask if that was the hotel that we booked. The guys at the reception seemed to have a friend visiting them and were not that professional.. at least not what we are used to while checking in at a hotel. We had two rooms in two separate buildings which was not optimal. The only good thing is that the rooms are really big and spacious.

Almost perfect......
The room we had was lovely, with a settee and 2 arm chairs plus a big bed (very comfortable). My only 'gripe' would be the bathroom - at my age it is very difficult to clamber over the side of the bath to have a shower - and the cost of the breakfast. 19 euros each for breakfast is very expensive - it looked lovely but at £35 for 2 people was not something we were prepared to pay. As I say, apart from that, wonderful hotel in a wonderful location.

The location was perfect! So many shops, dining, sights and right by the lake! The elevator stopped working our first day (we were on the fourth floor). The staff was very apologetic and offered to change our room. It was fixed the next afternoon.
The doors need a little lubricant, they were loud closing. Mini fridge was not that cold.
Parking was not convenient.
Air conditioning would be nice but the open windows kept it tolerable. The downside was the lights and noise from the streets. The staff was GREAT! Breakfast was wonderful.
The shower was fine, but climbing in and out can be very treacherous for someone with limited mobility and even the able-bodied. It’s just very tall.
The heated towel rack was a nice little plus!
The hotel is changing names, but thankfully, we looked for the address provided before we looked for the hotel name. A prior review gave us a heads up about it also.
The location was also very convenient for public transportation just a short walk away.
Overall, our stay was satisfactory!
