Hotel excellent mais restauration (petit dejeuner ) à repenser totalement
Pros:

Etablissement de grande qualité dans une ville ou il y a peu d'équivalent.
Chambre d'exception avec vue sur le port

Cons:

Petit déjeuner surprenant de mauvaise qualité et même quasi inexistant à une reprise (nécessité d'aller dans un bistro en face, le seul aliment proposé étant une tranche de pain de mie!)

Lovely stay even though it was only one night.
Pros:

Closeness to the ship terminal. Location to the market and shopping, close to restaurants.
Loved the pillows, they were very comfy not like others that bunch up of go flat.
Staff we friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Whilst the bed was comfortable it was a too high. Would not be good for people with a back problems.
There should be separate Shampoo and conditioner not an all in one.
Not enough power outlets in the room
