The hotel is conveniently located in the center of Helensburgh, right on the seafront, offering a great view of the river. The rooms are cozy with a large TV and catch-up apps, but the narrow bathroom might feel a bit cramped. The service is attentive, with room service available, and the staff provides a warm welcome. The dining experience features delicious Indian cuisine. However, the facilities are not as modern as expected, and the price could be more aligned with the value provided.

Staying at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were spacious but had tiny narrow bathrooms, and it was great to have a TV with Netflix. The facilities were top-notch. However, the sloped location made for a less than perfect night's sleep.
