An old hotel that is a bit dated but that was part of the charm. Clean rooms and linen, good breakfast with tasty coffee and friendly/helpful staff. Look past the decor and enjoy your stay.

The hotel is old and slowly undertaking refurbishment. Our room was huge and updated. Very nice. However other rooms are small and dingy and desperately need updating. Service was excellent. Location is central however very noisy at night from young people shouting and/or arguing till all hours of the night

Building is in good shape for its vintage. Breakfast is well worth the price. Last stop of a land vacation before getting on a cruise ship. Walking distance to port, train station and bus line. They even did a weeks worth of our laundry before we boarded our cruise. Very nice staff.

Great location. Close to good dining, shopping and the cruise port. Windows did not open and no air conditioning so the room was a bit warm and stuffy. The bar and reception staff were extremely friendly. I would stay there again.

Fabulous to turn up after 2 days of air travel to be told that they would upgrade us to an improved room and we could go straight up. (We were just hoping to leave our bags somewhere while we wandered the high st) the water pressure was not great, but after that long in a plane it was the best shower I’d ever had!! The bed was comfy and a huge room. Everything was on the doorstep, and although the pub went until 2am, we were so tired we would’ve slept thru anything. Friendly staff and a neat watering hole on the lower floor. The lift is an experience and it made us smile each time we used it. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

Well first of all it is described as a 3 star hotel, but there is no AC, it did have a fan, no elevator and very small room had to carry my luggage up stairs a long corridor and then another flight of stairs to get to the room the hotel has elevator, but it does not take you to the rooms.
