Pros:

The room was very nicely appointed.

Cons:

Our room was on the ground floor and right next to the access do to the front door. The people coming and going all night meant we could hear the door banging all night.

Beautiful decor fabulous location fantastic staff disappointing breakfast inadequate space that could be extended by bre
Pros:

Location/Room/Staff/

Cons:

Too expensive especially booking on booking.com The mezaline room while lovely is too small, dark and cramped and way over priced. The breakfast room is too small and uncomfortable. The breakfast offering is very limited and would be so much better if they were to include an egg dish e.g. poached eggs & avocado and would only require a small two ringed hot plate to make that possible. The overnight oats is a laugh and again would only require a hot ring to make it fresh. Very disappointing offering overall.

Stylish central location
Pros:

The decor was very beautiful and cosy. Our room was well appointed with a very comfortable bed and pillows. Nice sized bathroom with lots of great toiletries.
Really great location near the bars and harbour.
Very friendly staff.

Cons:

Our room got incredibly warm so we had to sleep with the windows open.
The bathroom tap was also slightly loose and got more loose during our stay.
There was a consistent odd ticking or creaking in our room near the fridge so we just used our earplugs to sleep.
If we had been staying for more than 1 night we would have highlighted this to the staff.
Breakfast was only ok, the best thing were the pastries from Dun Bakery. No cooked options. Only protein option was salmon (not for me) and sliced deli meats (also not for me) For the price we paid a few eggs / French toast / pancakes might have been nice.
