i had a double room, not sea view. it was bigger than i thought it would be. the check in was easy and the staff were very kind.

the bar had only a few stools, so it was hard to find a seat in the evening!

The staff offered a warm welcome, from reception to the breakfast staff. My room on the third floor featured a terrace with views of the church and harbor. The hotel's location is ideal, close to restaurants, pubs, and museums. The room included waters and muffins with the coffee service (nice touch!).

Parking proved challenging upon arrival.
