    Room was tired but met our needs for the night and this is reflected in the price. Staff very friendly and helpful.

    The room was small. Very basic shower in tiny space with toilet. Basic small TV seemed to have fallen off wall at some stage and was just propped up. Generally could do with internal updating but it is a budget hotel so no complaints.

    It was in a convenient location with parking. It was a competitive price.

    Great budget accommodation in Central Greenock.
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Budget Double Room

    Room-only accommodation, while mitigated by in-room tea/coffee-making facs and the shared kitchen, means breakfasts must be planned for if a very early start is expected.

    A former student hall, this is basic budget accommodation. As such, it is ideal when seeking overnight accommodation in Inverclyde when there is little demand for luxurious facilities or amenity. Basics such as a clean, if compact, room, with wifi, TV, a functioning shower, and opening windows (some with river views), are well covered and a kitchen/dining room on each landing offers opportunity to prepare simple meals. A central location, very close to the Cruise Liner Terminal, a promenade, bars and restaurants, the local Leisure centre and pool, the theatre and cinema, and a supermarket, means downtime needs can easily be met. Free on-site parking is a bonus. Used frequently in the past and will be in future.

    In order to ensure a hot shower it was vital to get up early. The tv ,in spite of attempting retuning the channels ,didn’t work. The toilet needed some persuasion to properly flush.

    The location was ideal for the purpose of requiring accommodation. Clean and relatively comfortable, quiet without noise from neighbouring rooms, budget priced accommodation with budget priced facilities. Having a kitchen facility at the guest’s disposal was most welcome.

    It's very 'no frills' but they are very upfront about that. Water in the taps and shower was ridiculously hot so don't burn yourself!

    Cheap price but no frills attached, staff all really kind and helpful, close to local amenities, own parking, kitchen facilities.

    Excellent budget location with beautiful views out onto the Clyde.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Budget Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room was small but this was expected at the very reasonable price. Just one observation: the location might not be suitable for guests with children as the harbour side has a direct drop into the Clyde which is protected only by loosely hung chains. Unsupervised children could get through these with ease. However this is NOT the fault of the property, nor is it their responsibility, as the harbour is public property.

    The room was small but perfectly adequate and at an extremely good price. Double bed was reasonably comfortable, lots of pillows, thick duvet, small TV, good tea & coffee making facilities and a self-catering kitchen next door which I didn't use as there is a Wetherspoon's pub and restaurant 5 minutes walk up the road. Small shower and bathroom but entirely manageable by my 6ft 6in tall and far from skinny frame! I.e. there was space to sit on the loo and space to stand in the shower, which are often not the case in other places with very small bathrooms! Great location right on the harbour side (beware with children) with views straight out onto the Clyde. Plenty of free parking and the friendly caretaker/receptionist was waiting for me on arrival.

    The walls must be thin .. can hear the people next door quite a lot which diminishes the sleep experience. Surroundings super peaceful, neighbours not so much.

    The location is wzterfront and very quiet and a soothing place ro be.

    A sound option for budget accommodation for work or leisure in the centre of Greenock

    • Standard Double Room

    Availability of crockery, cutlery and utensils seems to have decreased recently.

    As a former student hall, accommodation at the Waterfront is functional rather than fancy. With clean. if compact, rooms, opening windows, a functioning shower, and WiFi throughout, it offers excellent budget accommodation for work or leisure. It offers a common/gyp room on each landing equipped with standard white goods for preparation of meals if self-catering is preferred. Free on site parking helps and being adjacent to the promenade for a bit of exercise is a bonus if the couple of hundred meters to town centre and its amenities is too far.
