Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning rooms with a beautiful view of the harbour. The service was exceptional, but dining options were limited. The location is right in the city center, making it convenient. The facilities are top-notch, providing a luxurious stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a beautiful view of the harbour. The rooms were clean and comfy, the service was impeccable, and the location was just perfect. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired due to limited options. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable, making it a great value for money.
The hotel offers stunning harbor views from the rooms and a warm welcome. The small window in my room provided a beautiful view of the harbor, though it could be larger. The service was exceptional with efficient room service and attentive housekeeping. The location is perfect, right on the harbor with easy access to the Granary Cafe and other nearby restaurants. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of options including fresh fruit and made-to-order porridge. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
I had an amazing view from my room, but the small window was a bit disappointing. The service was top-notch, and the location was in the center of town, which was super convenient. The dining experience with fresh fruit available was delightful, although a bit pricey. Overall, I had a fantastic stay.
The hotel offers a stunning view over the harbor and provides a comfortable stay, but the dining options could be improved. The service is top-notch, and the location is perfect for exploring the town.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms offer a beautiful view and are equipped with an excellent walk-in shower, making the stay so comfortable. The service was top-notch, from room service to the friendly housekeeping staff. The hotel's location opposite the harbor is fantastic, and being close to the Granary Cafe added a special charm to my experience. The dining experience was superb with fresh fruit available, and the facilities met all my needs. However, prices could be more budget-friendly for the value offered.
