Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were comfortable and cleaned daily to a high standard, although more power sockets and hooks would have been convenient. The service was friendly and informative, but not always very warm. The location was excellent, centrally located with easy access to supermarkets and shops. Overall, a great stay with minor room for improvement.
The hotel's location is great for exploring the town, with close proximity to the old town and the harbor. The service was outstanding, with extremely attentive staff who went above and beyond to make me feel valued. The dining experience was a pleasant highlight of my stay. The rooms were cozy but lacked air conditioning, which could be a drawback in warmer weather.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with efficient amenities, although slightly dated. The service is super friendly and helpful, especially with car hire and housekeeping. The central location provides easy access to the main bus station and attractions, with a lovely rooftop terrace boasting spectacular views. The dining options cater to various tastes, offering a mix of English and continental dishes. Overall, a great value for the money.
