“I found the hotel's prime harbourfront position to be its strongest asset, complemented by a genuinely welcoming atmosphere and a breakfast menu that impressed with its quality and freshly cooked options. While the building's historic character means navigating narrow stairways, the comfortable, well-appointed rooms and the staff's attentive service make it a compelling choice for a short stay.”
