Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a lovely view over the harbor, but the rooms needed better cleaning, especially the plug sockets and kettle. The hotel's location was convenient, close to the harbor and promenade, with easy access to attractions and restaurants. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown, with small portions and extra charges, despite being at a reasonable rate.
The hotel has a stunning view over the harbor, with rooms featuring balconies that offer a great experience even with the lighting at full strength. However, the lack of information about the balcony in the bedrooms was a slight drawback.
The hotel offers stunning views of the harbor from the bedrooms, which was a pleasant surprise. The lighting in the rooms was perfect even at full strength. The location near the seafront and town center is a major plus, though the dining experience could be improved with bigger portions. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for enhancement.
The hotel offers a fantastic view overlooking Torbay and provides excellent cleaning services for the bedrooms. The rooms come with the requested bath, enhancing the stay. However, service on the floor needs improvement, but the manager is attentive and willing to make changes. The location is ideal, with bus stops nearby and main attractions within walking distance. Despite some dining issues, the hotel's shabushabu is a standout. The facilities are well-maintained and add value to the stay.
The hotel is located in a good place not far from the bus stops, right on the corner with a lovely view of the harbor. The rooms offer 2 comfortable single beds with great views, but the bathroom is a bit grubby. The service ranges from frosty receptionists to friendly managers and housekeeping staff. The dining experience with a view over the harbor was pleasant but charging extra unexpectedly may pose a concern. Overall, a convenient location with some room for improvement in cleanliness and service.
The service provided was excellent, although there were concerns raised about the response to a medical emergency. The location is great with main attractions within walking distance, but the dining experience could use improvement regarding portion sizes despite the fresh products served. The facilities offered are good overall, with a few minor upkeep issues observed.
