Nice place it was clean and people are friendly. But it’s not in a great area, there is limited food available. We ended up at the restaurant in the hotel next door, overpriced and limited options. I probably would not stay there again.

Was a good option to stay to do the tours in the area. Pretty comfortable and the common areas like the pool were nice and relaxing. The room cleaning and the restaurant need more attention- breakfast was really limited and overpriced. Better to go to Martha’s for breakfast. Staff was friendly at front desk and helpful.

Great staff and the property is very clean. For people that like to get up early and walk or run it is a great location. The road right outside the property runs along the sea and is very well lit. Lots of dining options nearby. I would have given it 5 stars except the WiFi in our room wasn’t very good

Great stay at the great house. The staff was beyond nice and helpful. Area is a little run down but the locals were super nice. Super close to the Ferry and you can walk pretty much anywhere from this location. 20 mins from airport.

Lovely place by the sea and convenient for water taxis/ access to centre, but unfortunately there is significant property redevelopment occurring right in front of the hotel, causing excessive noise and blighting the views, etc. This is ongoing as of May 2024 and will likely last until at least the end of 2025. This should be mentioned on the property details. A room overlooking the rear of the property was better because of this.

Huge Radisson hotel across the street is currently being demolished for something bigger. Our favorite restaurant thete is gone but walked a short 2 blocks down to the Secret Garden for a very affordable and excellent dinner. Website says Free breakfast upon booking but it is not. But only $12 uSD per person for a good continental breakfast in nice restaurant on first level.

Hotel staff is friendly. Hotel is old and outdated, it smells like old, wooden floor cracks, can hear people walking by and upstairs. They're demolishing an old hotel right in front of the hotel so the loud noise starts around 7am.
