Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise The Pier's convenient location, with easy walking distance to the town centre, the pier, and attractions like Gunwharf Keys and the Historic Dockyard to see HMS Victory. Many appreciate the spacious and beautifully furnished rooms, as well as the optional, freshly cooked full English breakfast, including vegetarian options. While some guests have noted that parking can be a little challenging due to the busy street, the provision of a parking permit is a definite plus. Several restaurants are in close proximity, such as Gussepi's and El Greco.

clean roomfried breakfastgreat location
The location proved Very nice. I easily walked to local attractions and ferries. The room was sparkling clean. Breakfast each morning featured a veggie fried option prepared by the owner's mum.
The road outside the hotel was quite busy. This made finding a parking spot somewhat difficult.
