Disappointed
Pros:

Good location, friendly staff, comfortable bed

Cons:

Are particular room the deluxe Garden suite was incredibly hot. Even though the heating was not on. The main problem is the noise from the rooms above you can hear every single footstep that people take and that certainly had an impact on our sleep. The patio doors open onto an incredibly small area with a door (that you can’t lock )that leads onto a passage that can be accessed by members of the public and the whole area is very overlooked by the property. It’s right next to the beer garden, we’re lucky that people weren’t drinking there at night but again I’m sure it’ll be very noisy place to try and sleep if people are out on the beer garden.

Very cute and quaint little town with good food and good views.
Pros:

The location at the Harbour was beautiful and made walking around the downtown area very easy.

Cons:

The room that I selected at booking was not the same room as what I saw in the pictures and was much smaller than expected.

Pros:

La cucina, colazione più che eccezionale. La cortesia dello staff

Cons:

Da rivedere un po’ il bagno. Qualche piccola ragnatela sugli angoli dei soffitti ma essendo alti comprensibile. Per quello 9 e non 10 come punteggio.

Pros:

Goed en gezellig hotel, prima gelegen en fijn ontbijt.

Cons:

Een kamer aan de straatkant, zoals wij er een hadden kun je eigenlijk niet verhuren. Met het raam open rijdt het verkeer met alle herrie dwars door je kamer. Je doet geen oog dicht. Een airco en dubbel glas zouden een uitkomst zijn.

L’emplacement, les chambres agréable (nous en avions 3), la vue sur le port et la gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

La rugosité de la patronne le soir après la dernière bouchée du dîner de nous demander de quitter sans délai le restaurant pour aller au bar !!
