Located in a dark & out of the way area

Located in a dark area away from most restaurants & shops. My room had no curtains on the windows including the hallway meaning I had to sleep in almost complete light. I think the price is a little expensive for the hotel with its position & condition. Stuff were very friendly & the breakfast was ok

Friendly, Clean and Convenient

The Hotel is well located very near to the Ferry. The staff were friendly at all times, and helped us book various activities around the island, although there were some miscommunication, specifically about the prison island and spice tour including time for swimming (they didnt). The breakfast is good but not "Full English" as advertises
