Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers lovely views overlooking the water from some rooms, but others face garages and poor-quality flats. Accessible via a narrow spiral staircase, the rooms are on two levels. While some noise can be heard from traffic outside and children in the corridors, the location is surprisingly quiet and attractive, close to the ferry port and various restaurants.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although clean and spacious, had some accessibility issues due to ongoing refurbishments. The service was generally good, with a standout staff member in the breakfast area. The location was convenient for dining options but had early morning disturbances. The dining experience was subpar, with added costs, but the hotel offered some pet amenities. The facilities were average.
The hotel faces the street/wharf and can be very noisy, and the rooms are old with a strong smell of cigarette smoke. On the positive side, there is plenty of free parking available outside, and the hotel features a bar and restaurant.
