This is a nice hotel in a great location but on our visit the management let us down. We were put on top floor with daily refurbishment next door, no peaceful sleep in for us. The noisy work seemed only necessary in the morning, banging and masonry drills screaming, couldn’t the work be organized to get the noisy work done after lunch and quiet work in the morning? There is an elevator but it was temporarily out of service, on a 3 level hotel I would expect management to get it fixed promptly. Secondly the hotel wasn’t full so why put guests on the highest floor. It seemed to me the management were indifferent to the enjoyment of the guests so I would not recommend this property nor consider it for a future stay.

The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making for a very pleasant stay. The property's convenient location, just a short walk from shops and a great selection of dining options, was a real bonus. Breakfast at Little Nell, the restaurant attached to the hotel, was also very enjoyable, with a tasty selection to start the day. What truly stood out, however, was the staff—everyone was genuinely warm, welcoming, and always happy to help, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would happily stay here again.

Solo stay

Bed was very comfortable and the shower was hot. Close to the marina, which was great. Lift was broken, so I had to carry luggage up 2 flights of stairs in the rain. Not ideal. Gym is a treadmill in a very small room. Staff were lovely via email and face-to-face. Little Nel is great spot for breakfast. No water views.
