A Few Things To Know Ahead of Time
Pros:

I recently stayed at Hotel Pippa during Christmas Stroll. I know this is a crazy, busy time but there were things that made it not so great for the price we paid. There is a very small mention in Amenities that there is a bar attached to the hotel. It is literally several feet away from the check in lobby. It was so loud and noisy with singing, swearing, etc. I saw a couple with a baby checking in that first day and I can’t imagine that child slept at all. I asked about the noise and was told it would die down around “10 or 10:30”. The walls are very thin - you can hear someone sneezing, coughing and talking. Despite having the largest room in the hotel, the bathroom is absolutely tiny. The stairs are very steep, too. The place was immaculate, and located right in the middle of everything (maybe not so great for Stroll). People were very nice. I’m not sure I would stay there again, or maybe just not during Christmas Stroll.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

Great stay! Hotel is well located and close ferry, shopping, restaurants and anything else you need. You can easily stay here and not need to worry about renting a car. Rooms are small, but well appointed and comfortable. Complimentary breakfast included; breakfast area is small but there is outdoor seating in good weather. One note the rooms are spread over a couple of older buildings so the upper rooms can only be accessed by stairs, so if you have trouble with stairs try to book a lower room.
