Superior accommodation, we recommend. Rooms are large, great location. Adjacent to the downtown, 15 minutes on foot. As picky eaters we appreciated to be close to a huge variety restaurants, went to The Lark couple of times, it was 5 mins walk away. Management made us feel welcome.

Favourable location, incredibly helpful staff who made the stay really really nice. Wonderful breakfast, impeccable service. Great view, a small balcony, big bed, too. Quaint little hotel centrally located in the city. Swimming pool and oyster bar were there...
