    Room was a little tight and small, and looks dated. Selection at breakfast was quite limited.

    The lady at the reception on the night we checked in was exceptionally helpful. There's a Bonus supermarket just around the corner

    The only thing was that the staff was trying to be helpful but then there was some confusion when we asked for help booking our flybus ride to the airport. I would recommend just doing it on your own online.

    Good location walkable to harbor and downtown. Comfortable beds with cozy blankets, good breakfast. No hot water kettle in the room but there was hot water, tea and cake out in the restaurant in the evening

    Bathrooms were a problem. My toilet stopped flushing on first morning but had been repaired by the time I came back as room had been serviced. My brother couldn't get the shower in his room to work properly. Breakfast was adequate and a reasonable choice but absence of any hot food was a bit of a disappointment. Location of hotel was fine for us and we knew where it was when we booked but it probably wouldn't suit everyone.

    Parking facilities are excellent. Free WiFi worked perfectly.

    The common areas of the hotel were in good condition but there were a few things in need of repair in our room. The shower head holder was broken and one section of the curtain was hanging off.

    The hotel was very relaxed and welcoming. There was a good selection for breakfast. Tea and coffee facilities were available at any time with cake in the evening. The location was convenient for bus meet ups and getting into city centre. The boys enjoyed playing the games available.

    The location not too close to the center for walking in winter ( but we knew it before booking)

    Everything. The homely atmosphere , the kindness and helpfulness of the staff, the homemade cakes and teas available at any time and lastly the ethics of the organization that runs it.

    Only thing we didn't like was the shower curtain, however it seems that other hotels also have these.

    Very friendly staff, they were happy to help with any issues we had. The free hot drinks and cake of an evening was a lovely touch. Great location, 30 mins walk to the centre of downtown (in deep snow, probably quicker in better weather), so close enough to not need any transport but far enough that it was lovely and quiet at night. Bus stop for tours 10 min walk away which was perfect.
