I had a pretty mixed experience at this hotel. The location was amazing, close to the ferry and car hire offices, which made it super convenient for my travels. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but the room itself was a bit of a disappointment with an odd smell and not the best ambiance. The dining was delightful, especially the freshly made breakfast, so that was a definite highlight! Overall, it could be a great place, but some improvements are needed.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of luxury and charm. The room was absolutely stunning, capturing that shabby chic French style, and I felt very much at home. While the service was friendly and helpful, I did notice some inconsistencies. The location was great for getting around, but the noise from the street could be a bit disruptive. Overall, it's a lovely place to stay but there are a few areas that could use improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was beautifully decorated in a shabby chic style, and the standalone bathtub added a touch of luxury. However, the hallways and reception area were less appealing. The service was friendly, and the upgrade to our room was a lovely surprise. The location was very convenient for ferry travelers, though the dining experience could use some improvement. Overall, it was a nice stay but not without its quirks.
