Had a fantastic time with friends! We explored nearby islands after a short walk from the center, soaking in great views. The hotel is close to nightlife and offers boat tours. There's entertainment every weekend in the summer. Rooms were clean, breakfast was excellent, and the service was top-notch.
Our room was on the first floor without a lift, which made it a bit tricky when carrying luggage, but staff were helpful.

I had a blast staying here for one night and absolutely loved the comfy beds and the great continental breakfast options, which were surprisingly affordable. The place offers nice touches like a cozy lounge area and a lovely garden to relax in. Only downside was the basic decor, but it didn't bother me much at all! 😊

I loved the spacious studio room, well-equipped with a kitchen and a lovely view of the harbor. The friendly proprietor, Shena, ensured we felt comfortable and even helped with our luggage.
A lift would greatly enhance accessibility for seniors.

Perfect Spot for Ferry Trips
This place is so close to the ferry terminal, just a 5 min walk! We loved grabbing a takeaway lunch from the terminal. The beds were super comfy and the bar area was nice, even though we didn't use it. Only thing is, parking isn’t free, so you need to get there early for a spot across the street.

My studio was spotless and had a lovely little kitchen! The bed felt like a cloud, and the peaceful vibes were just what I needed after a long day.
But darling, the check-in time is stricter than my mother’s tea rules! A bit of flexibility would have been lovely.

The location is excellent, just a short walk to restaurants and shops, making it convenient for exploring. The charming staff provided exceptional service and were very accommodating, even preparing a generous breakfast basket the night before. the aging building shows wear, with uninviting stairs and a particularly temperamental shower that oscillated between scalding and freezing. A suggestion for improvement would be to address the inconsistent water heating to enhance guest comfort.
