This isn't the most attractive hotel from the outside but once you're inside everything is very comfortable. Lovely big bed, great size bathroom with fabulous shower and a good size table and chairs in the room. Everyone is right about the mini bar prices, they are very reasonable. It just shows how outrageous other hotels are with what they charge.... More

We just stayed six nights at Fountainside, and loved every one of them. Great rooms, good staff, very reasonable prices, even the mini-bar drinks and snacks are a bargain! Sure, the hotel looks like crap from the outside, but it's on the inside that matters. And that's where they've put a lot of effort fixing it up.

We found this to be a wonderful place to stay. The room rates are very reasonable for the location which is easy walking to the wharf. The mini bar,wines and breakfast are user friendly. The wifi works great in the rooms. The rooms are large and clean. The staff very friendly and efficient. We highly recommend.

Amazingly there is a great inexpensive breakfast available and for later there is wine at good prices. The Hotel is in a great location within easy walking distance of the harbour, Salamanca, good pubs etc. Staff are really helpful. We dropped... More

Don't let the outside of the hotel put you off - inside the room was lovely. Spacious, clean, comfortable, great TV and a sizable bathroom with everything provided. The breakfast was good value and I would definitely stay there again.

When we checked in, we were greeted by a very nice young lady named Megan. She was very helpful in telling us about all the sites to see, and places to eat, other than at the hotel. The room was great and quiet, w/a fridge, coffee maker etc. It was only a 10 minute walk to the warf, and the... More
