I agree with the other reviews. Great value for the money. However, it is not a resort or a luxurious hotel. Nevertheless there is everything you want, AC in the bed room (only), a view, a pool (i didn't use, i hate hotel pools), decent breakfast, good wifi, clean bathroom and tv with all the us channels (only watched the news). There is a very nice resting area behind the hotel, a bit hidden, right next to the pool.

The hotel is very historic and that added to the experience. The staff was very helpful and room was super clean. There are dining options within a block and water taxi 8 minute walk. Highly Recommend.

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.

Julia

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.
