Lovely staff, cute nautical design but not for staying
Pros:

Location and fresh design

Cons:

As the building was old, the smell of the building was felt in the room. It was a hot day and the heat in the room was unbearable. It was a fan provided but for four of us was difficult. Also it was by the main road that wasn’t mentioned
