charming stay at pub hotel

helpful staff coffee tea

the staff helped us alot. they let us keep our bags before check-in, that was quite helpful. the room was clean with tea and coffee. it also has a hairdryer and an iron, i was surprised. the taxi service was also very useful.

my room wasn't like the pictures. it was pretty small and there was no air conditioning, a little disappointing. carrying luggage up the steep steps was quite a challenge, i think.

Charming Stay Near the Port

convenient location spacious room comfortable bed friendly staff

The hotel's location proved convenient for my pre-cruise stay. A short walk got me to the port quickly. I found the room's cleanliness perfect. It was well-kept. The bed was comfortable, I had a restful sleep. Staff members were friendly, so.

The absence of a lift presented a slight challenge with my luggage. i had to carry it up the stairs.

FABULOUS Stay!

friendly staff pedestrian street comfortable room helpful staff

The staff was SO friendly and helpful! They even helped me book a taxi. My room was comfortable for the price. Plus, they offered help with my bags. That was great. There are LOTS of restaurants on this mainly pedestrian street!

I noticed the doors were a little noisy when people were stomping around upstairs. The sound carried.
