The hotel is quiet pricey. Although the staff is friendly their rooms aren’t so big also their sea view facing room is not so great as it is obstructed by building.

The room is large, but the soundproofing is very poor. The noise from the corridor kept me awake all night. The location is right by the sea. It is very convenient to see the sea. The breakfast is also very good and rich. People who are sensitive to noise should choose carefully.

The Kelway , perfectly located with the best view of the beach, harbour and marine drive, located a short walk to beachfront, overlooking the aquarium which is being renovated, this is a little gem if you are lucky enough to experience a stay, you have found the pot of gold!
