Why people love it
- Location. Guests say it is right on the harbor, with the pedestrian area, city beach and ferries within walking distance.
- Family-run welcome. Guests mention friendly staff who speak English. One guest in March 2026 got a free upgrade to a marina view.
- Rooms. Guests mention balconies over the harbor, air conditioning and double glazing that keeps the night quiet.
- Parking. A May 2026 guest was shown affordable underground parking on arrival.
The worst thing guests say
In September and July 2026 two guests gave 1 star over rude phone and desk service, including a promised crib that was not provided. In August 2026 a guest found the air conditioning not working in hot weather. Reviews from 2023 to 2025 say rooms are small, with no mirror and a very narrow shower.
Insider tips
- The hotel is in a restricted traffic zone, so ask reception for a parking ticket.
- Request a harbor-view or balcony room.
- Confirm any crib request with the hotel before you arrive.
Who it's for: couples who want the harbor location on foot.
Skip it if you need a large room or a dependable crib request.
