"Beautiful location perfectly situated next to the harbour and the old town. It is a wonderful place to be in the evening with everything happening around you and a view of the boats. Get a room with the harbour view to make the most of it. The rooms were a little tired and the lift was tiny and cramped. The property would have benefitted from a pool. The decor needs updating and a bit of character added to it but on the whole good for a one to two night stay."
