Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided a lovely stay with clean and comfy rooms. The service was very helpful and courteous. The location was great for exploring with plenty of nearby amenities. The dining experience offered a good range of options at reasonable prices.
Upon arrival, I found that my room was an 'Accessible' one, which I usually don't prefer. It felt a bit chilly, and unfortunately, there was no way to adjust the temperature. If you're planning a winter stay, be sure to bundle up. The hotel's proximity to the ferry was a plus, and the influence of Stanley Kubrick's aesthetic added intrigue to the atmosphere.
I was pleased with the well-equipped and clean rooms offering comfortable beds and excellent bathrooms. The location was ideal, just within a few minutes' walk to all the dining and shopping options. The service was friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide range of delicious options.
The hotel rooms are spacious and well-equipped, although some areas show signs of wear and require refurbishment. The service is friendly but had a minor issue with cancellation. The location offers a step back in time charm and is convenient with plenty of nearby dining options. Dining is great with a variety of fresh choices, and the facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel has great character with a comfy big bed and is so near to all the shops and restaurants, offering good value for money. However, the hallways were dated, dusty, and needed a good clean, and there was an issue with room availability during my stay.
The hotel had character and old charm but lacked storage space in the rooms and had a slight smell. The service was attentive and tried to overcome its historical surroundings. The location was perfect, quiet yet central, and close to town facilities. Dining was good but a bit pricey. The hotel's facilities were adequate.
