“There's something immediately appealing about a stay here, positioned as it is directly opposite the harbor with those striking views. The recent updates in the rooms give a fresh feel, particularly in the bathrooms, though it sounds like attention to detail in amenities could use some work. What stands out is its blend of historic charm with a modern touch, offering what could be a truly memorable experience with a bit more polish.”

the room was quite spacious and included comfy beds. the bathroom was also spacious (i appreciated this). the view overlooking the boats was amazing. i found the staff quite pleasant and they were chatty.
Breakfast started from 10.30 am. That's quite late, so i didn't take advantage of it.

the hotel offered views of the harbour from many rooms, with rooms including mahogany furniture. the free standing world globe in rooms contained a mini bar, but it was empty , a pity.

Staff members were generally friendly and helpful . one staff member, rachael, was lovely. She ensured we had enough coffee and sugar. however, the check-in window was quite strict at 15:00 to 16:00, which could be inconvenient.

breakfast was included, but it started quite late, at 10:30 am (i think it should start earlier). that they went for a walk and then came back for breakfast. it's a point to note when planning your morning.

harbour view haven!
spacious roomamazing viewfriendly staffparking availability
the room was spacious with an amazing harbour view! the bathroom was also a good size. the location was great for accessing local amenities, and i found the staff friendly. the breakfast offered was also quite nice, made the mornings easy.
i found that there was no parking available at the hotel. i had to use the casino car park and walk, not ideal with luggage. it would be helpful to have designated parking.

The premises close relatively early at 9 pm, with no staff available overnight. Entry after this time is via a dark road at the back, this may be a security concern for some guests.

I was kinda surprised by the sheer size of the room. It was spacious! the modernized bathroom featured a great free standing bath. rachel, the host, ensured we had ample coffee and sugar, a nice touch. it.
The absence of double glazed windows meant i noticed some noise from passing traffic. It was a bit distracting.
