The Telegraph
9.0
"Rooms that are as striking as the food, displaying a sometimes surprising but always sensual contemporary/baroque style and unexpectedly leafy views. A low-key location for a high-octane operation." Full review

Rough Guide
"Chic, modern hotel set in the grand old seamen’s hostel just back from the wharf-side."
Star Service
"Located a 15-minute drive from the center (a long half-hour walk), this hotel cuts a fashionable figure in the longshoreman's part of town." Full review
Frommer's
"It's a respectable part of the spruced-up waterfront, its brasserie and bar buzzing, with guests spilling out onto the cobbled street." Full review

Be sure to ask for a superior room at the front of the hotel, for extra space and a view over the river.
