Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The room was cozy, the service was top-notch, and the location was unbeatable. However, the dining options were a bit limited. Overall a great experience!
I found the hotel perfectly situated, right on the docks with a view of the boats. The rooms were top-notch, featuring a functioning shower, a TV, and complimentary drinks. The service, especially from the receptionists, was exceptional. The location couldn't be better, just across the road from the ferry landing. The dining experience, with a delightful assortment of canapes, was simply outstanding. Facilities were top-notch, including modern amenities and spacious interiors.
I was delighted with the hotel's fabulous location, right on the docks with mesmerizing views of boats. The rooms were not just clean and comfy but also had several amenities that added to the convenience. The receptionists were especially helpful and made my stay even more enjoyable. However, the dining experience, although inclusive, lacked variety in breakfast choices. The hotel's prime location near the ferry terminal was incredibly convenient. The price was reasonable, offering great value for money.
