Staff are great and really make the hotel. Always go above and beyond.
Hotel is looking a bit tired. AC in room was dead, but the same for a number of rooms I've stayed in at the hotel whilst traveling for work. Breakfast is pre-made/reheated beige urgh. Not expecting a lot, but it's not great. Again, staff make up it it, and the physical condition of the hotel is beyond their help, it needs investment.

Rooms were Ok, and I think it's Ok overall in value for money.
Breakfast was crowded and sometimes was missing basic things because it took a long time for the staff to refill.

Location
Lack of typical amenities, phone, refrigerator, slow internet, door closer set too fast (safety issue for elderly or children). Quality of breakfast food could be better.

The staff is nice and helpful; the hotel located just 200 meters from the Ocean terminal where the royal yacht Britannia is located and open for visits.
Pretty far from the city center, the breakfast is very poor. Not sure it is a good value for money.
