    great breakfast
    perfect location
    parking inconvenience

    Had a great time with friends exploring nearby islands and enjoying local seafood. The hotel's location is perfect, and the breakfast was a highlight, with plenty of options. The staff were friendly and really helpful.

    We did run into a minor issue with parking on arrival, as there were no spaces available at the hotel, which made things a bit inconvenient.

    I soaked in stunning views of the bustling harbour right from my room, especially during those breathtaking sunsets. The quirky Victorian lift added a playful touch to my stay, making each trip a little adventure! With a delightful breakfast spread featuring fresh local options, I felt energized and ready to explore every corner.

    We had a lovely stay with stunning views from our double room and delicious food at breakfast. The hotel offers great relaxation spots like the cozy lounge and a peaceful terrace to unwind. Just a heads up, the heating in the room felt a bit outdated, but it didn’t ruin our experience! 😊

    Warm Welcome and Beautiful Views

    I recently spent two nights in a lovely room with a stunning view of the harbor. The staff was exceptionally friendly and made our stay memorable. Breakfast was of good quality, with plenty of options to choose from. the room could have used some updates to match the beautiful location better.

    Great views and comfy vibes

    We went for 2 nights and loved the spacious double room with sea view. The bed was super comfy, and the sitting area overlooking the harbor was a nice touch! The staff were friendly at the bar where we had lunch. Only thing was that breakfast options were a bit limited. great stay!

    Stunning sea view from the room.

    During my stay, I was disappointed with the outdated decor and poorly maintained facilities. The parking was quite inconvenient, as there were no spaces available, which added unnecessary stress to my visit. the shower pressure was unacceptably low, making it difficult to enjoy a refreshing wash after a long day of exploring.

    the sea view from our room was amazin, and it's super comfy. the hotel has character, and the staff were really friendly and helpful! loved the casual vibe and how close we were to everything in town. even tho we didn't have breakfast, it was nice to see a bar area where food could be served.

    the parking situation was kinda annoying, and the hotel could use a bit of a facelift. also, menus could've been more accessible!
