Great location all around. It’s a short walk to Eat Street for some fun informal food choices. Formal dining options, a grocery market, bakery & chemist shops are located along the promenade just outside the hotel. The city ferry is located a short distance along the dock which provides easy access to other locations along the river. The room we stayed is was well appointed and comfortable. The only negative comment is that the carpets are starting to look their age, not a big distraction ….but noticeable. All & all a good stay & I would recommend the Alcyone to friends.
