Convenient Location and Comfortable Stay

The hotel is close to the ferry wharves and train station for easy transport. The beds are very comfortable I slept well each night. The staff was friendly providing good service . My room was quiet and the curtains blocked out the light.
The gym was small. The selection of equipment was limited I wish it had more variety.

Understated Elegance Close to Everything

large roomsgreat comfortgluten-free options
The room size impressed me a lot. The bed offered great comfort. I found luggage storage very useful. The bar provided several meal options, some gluten-free. The location suited my needs well, even though it involves a steep walk from the station.
They did run out of bottled water , and the toiletries weren't replaced correctly, so I had three conditioners, but no body wash.
