The location was in an excellent location for us going to the Passenger Terminal. The were a couple of things we didn't like about room 104. The bathroom didn't look spotless and the toilet was too close to the bath/shower. I woke up about 2:30 A.M. to the sound of a constant regular noise. I couldn't locate the noise but it may have been the bar fridge. It was very annoying and kept me awake.

We were only there one day, so did not have a chance to fully explore the location, however it seemed great. The staff seemed great too. Unfortunately, we had quite a bit of luggage & it was extremely difficult to navigate the stairs from the elevator to our room.

The Hidden Gem

The location was super convenient. The area is historic. The staff was very courteous. Train station was a beautiful 10 minute walk. Your surrounded by museums, art Galleries. We were there for a back to back boat cruise. The port was a 5 minute walk. This hotel is a hidden gem and we plan on coming back.
