Really good Breakfast and Thoughtful Service

delicious breakfastharbour viewhelpful manager
The breakfast was amazing with a fine harbour view from the restaurant bar area. I especially appreciated the manager, Leon (he was very helpful). I left my jacket in the room. Leon promptly arranged postage, and I received my jacket back quickly. The bed linen and towels felt luxurious, and the tea and coffee facilities added convenience.
The bathroom lacked shelf space. I found this slightly inconvenient.

The team provided a warm welcome and was very friendly! i adored the valentine room. It featured exposed brick and a supremely comfortable bed. the shower was amazing and the harbour and sea view was such a treat!
We encountered a small hiccup during check-in. It took a little longer than expected. the delay was about fifteen minutes, and the light in the bathroom didn't work
