    9VanessaPosted on: 2-16-2026

    Great views; nice natural light; very clean; comfortable bed; close to town.

    Everything was good but the shower was a rain shower which is not my cup of tea.

    Friendly staff. Comfortable beds.

    Carpark at the rear of the property and an uphill walk. No lift only stairs with our suitcases. Would not suit unfit or older visitors. The hotel is also situated up a steep hill which would be tough for older visitors to climb at the end of a busy day. There was no handsoap on the basin. We had to use soap wash from the shower which couldn’t be easily accessed.

    9HughPosted on: 2-12-2026

    Modern and clean, really comfortable and just on the edge of town. Really helpful and welcoming host as we checked in a bit early but room all ready.

    Just to be aware it is up quite a steep climb

    9RogerPosted on: 2-2-2026

    Clean & comfortable

    Walking up the hill to it

    8BelindaPosted on: 1-31-2026

    Central location, clean, light and nicely furnished. Comfortable bed. Great value. Host was great to deal with.

    The room was quite small and needed more power points (for phone chargers). The street entry is very steep! But these are small things.

    9RobinPosted on: 1-30-2026

    Location, parking provided and good facilities

    Lighting in bathroom could be improved by second light in shower area. Air-con too much directed at the bed

    10MeiruiPosted on: 1-27-2026

    Quiet and comfortable room close to the city centre, with a great view. Would happily stay again.
