8.2/10 Very Good! (268 reviews)

Our room was quiet and comfortable with a beautiful view of the water. The hotel was easily accessible by bus and it was a quick trip from the ferry terminal. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a lovely place to stay and we would recommend it.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (90 reviews)

Excellent location for getting into town. Quiet street. Clean, comfortable room. If using a hire car, factor in the extra cost of paying for a daily parking pass to park in the nearby streets through Easypark App. Pretty straightforward. You will need WiFi signal to operate the doors - external and you room doors which is tricky if you don’t have mobile roaming, but you get used to it! Alf the proprietor was very helpful. Would definitely recommend.
