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.
