    filling breakfast
    great location
    high noise level

    We enjoyed our stay, especially the convenient location just a 20-minute walk from the central station. It's perfect for catching ferries or cruise ships. Plus, the breakfast was filling and satisfying, which was fantastic for our family with three small kids.

    In my wife's opinion, the noise levels were a bit too high, especially for a family. It would be great to have soundproofed rooms for a quieter stay.

    The location proved excellent for a pre-cruise stay, with easy access to the port and local attractions. The friendly staff made a positive impression, and the breakfast selection was enjoyable. the room showed signs of age with issues like poor window condition and inadequate heating that detracted from comfort. the absence of room information regarding Wi-Fi and services left some guests feeling uninformed.

    Nice little surprise!

    Stayed for a night and found the place to be cool. The room was cozy and bright, even if it felt a bit old-school. Loved the shower! There’s street parking, and it’s close to some great pubs and restaurants. The bar was a nice touch too. Just beware of the noise from the street at night.

    lack of checkout engagement

    The room, while pokey, was clean and offered great value for the price, perfect for a cozy night’s rest. The breakfast was delicious, particularly the smoked salmon bagels, making morning dining a delightful experience. the noise from the street and building's creaky floors were noticeable, which disrupted sleep a bit. there was no inquiry about our stay at checkout, leaving the experience feeling somewhat impersonal.

    Had a fab stay! The location was super convenient, right in the middle of everything. Staff were beyond helpful, really made us feel welcome. The family room was clean and comfy. Only bummer was that the decor could use a refresh. The bar was a nice chill spot, perfect for unwinding.

    The room lacked some basic amenities.

    Historic significance of the building, Quirky nature of room designs, Central location to attractions

    The room cleanliness left much to be desired with long hair found everywhere!!! Plus, the noise from the nearby pubs is absolutely disruptive throughout the night, making it hard to get any proper rest!!!
