charming stay!

comfortable room attentive reception tasty breakfast great location

i had a very comfortable and nice room . the reception staff were very attentive and followed up throughout my visit. breakfast was tasty and the location was great to explore the town. i definitely plan to book again!

the shower had barely any power and i couldn't open the wardrobe in my room. it wasn't a big issue, but it would need some attention.

the hotel was very central to the town and lease. it is only a 10-15 minute walk from the high street in a quiet spot. it is also an easy walk to the harbor, as well as some great restaurants and bars!!!

inconsistent temperature low water pressure

I found some aspects of my stay disappointing. The shower temperature was inconsistent. It switched abruptly between freezing cold and scalding hot. The water pressure was also very low, barely a trickle. The host attempted to charge me again, despite my payment being processed through the app..

an adequate stay

staff accommodation breakfast pack attentive host restricted parking dated bathroom low shower water pressure

the staff accommodated my late check-in. this was due to unexpected traffic delays. they also prepared a breakfast pack, as i had an early departure. the host was attentive, which i appreciated (after a long journey).

the parking area felt restricted. it was more of a short alley beside the hotel, not an actual car park. the bedroom and bathroom seemed a bit dated to me. the shower had barely any power.

wonderful stay!

super clean room local shops easy access

my room was super clean. i found all the amenities i needed. the location suited my plans since it was close to local shops. i could easily walk to many sites i wanted to see.

The parking area was a bit small. It felt more like a narrow alley next to the building.

the double room en-suite was quite spacious. i appreciated the thoughtful touch of having cubbies in the bathroom. these cubbies really helped in organizing personal items, something many hotels often overlook.
