    We had a room that looked over the water which was lovely; sitting on the balcony was very relaxing. Although the evening dinner menu was limiting, the food was of a high standard. The drinks were reasonably priced.

    The only reason for not getting a 10 is how cramped it was at bfast with the queue running through the guests enjoying their food.

    Stunning location and beautiful cabin. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food delicious and both bar and food reasonably priced. Stunning rear deck to watch sunset with a drink and location fantastic for Excel events and other food providers along the promenade. This is a real spoil yourself and unique kind of stay at very reasonable London prices! Dont hesitate you wont regret it. Staff happy to store bags post checkin/ check out whilst you explore!

    Having no booking for dinner and with no availability a member of staff approached us to advise of an available table. A beautiful room.

    The breakfast was chaos, all laid out wrong, people getting in each other’s way, when you went to the hot buffet most of the things were run out, and trying to fill your plate was a juggling act as there was nowhere to put the lids of the dishes and nowhere to rest your plate so trying to hold your plate and rest the lid somewhere so you could use the tongs was not easy, despite that the food tasted nice and there was lots of choice

    Nice, chilled and relaxed. Good selection of drinks and great amenities

    The restaurant, a little bit our fault for coming in late due to delays. But we arrived 15 min before last sitting at the restaurant, and they closed us off even when reception had said its okay. I found it a bit awkward, but I can understand why.

    I liked the whole concept of the hotel. The place was very clean. Very secure with good policies regulating people coming into the facilities.
