We booked the panoramic double room, with a terrace and ocean view. The room was clean, small, but we knew that when booking as we wanted a room with a terrace and view. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a lovely choice and we liked we could pick what we had before hand. Overall a really nice stay and we loved the view.

The room was very nice however it was incredibly dark and needed either extra lighting or some focused lighting to read documents. I feel that they were trying to get a " Vibe ", however with all the problems of the world at the moment with war in the middle east we really missed a TV to keep up with the news.

Old Charm

I loved this hotel. It was old with lots of charm and located just across the street from the fort wall. It was next to Pedler Street with great shopping. Breakfast was really good with an amazing array of fruit. Overall, this is a great hotel.
