it's an old building, but they keep it clean. It's way up on a hill above town, so getting to restaurants is easy, getting back to the hotel on foot to slot of work
Friendly hospitable staff spotlessly clean comfortable beds compact bathroom with what seems to be an endless supply of hot water
We were there early season but were very impressed with this 2 star hotel
We initially didn’t get the best room. It had carpet & felt a-bit rundown, but we asked to change the next day to a different room & The staff were very accommodating. They swapped us to an amazing room with most fantastic view!! (5th floor)
The breakfast was great! Location great & everyone was really friendly! They made sure we were well looked after x

The staff was amazing! Hotel is a little outdated but everything was fine and comfortable.
Really enjoyed my stay. I loved my room (311) was such a joy to come back to it after a busy day. Loved the balcony and the shower was the best shower I've ever taken.
Really nice staff who make sure you have a great stay. We had the air con in our room which we preferred to the balcony view during this hot spell. They also kindly supplied us with a kettle to have our coffee in the room.
