Great location, handy for all transport links (although not airport direct) and lots of restaurants. Awesome markets on the weekend. Hotel itself is very dated and rooms quite small and worn out. Amazing views from our room and rooftop, UNTIL a cruise ship turns up and then that locks everything. Very disappointed about this as paid extra to stay there and have a room with a view and then the view was blocked most of the time. The price should be adjusted down because of this. Very noisy Friday and Saturday nights with the bars and restaurants playing very loud music until the early hours of the morning and this as helped by the windows not being sealed.

Convenient for crusing
Perfect location if needing a hotel before/after a cruise - less than a five minute walk to cruise terminal. Close to all public transport trains, ferries, light rail. Hotel decor, rooms and amenities a bit dated.
