The breakfast on the nice terrace is good and enjoyable. ##### Helen Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Anonymous Nov 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Pros: - staff were lovely and helpful, very accommodating - good location - historical building Needs Improvement: - our room was terribly small. For just a little more $$, we could have stayed at another hotel with more spacious rooms. But it is an old building... - breakfast was okay, but I’d like to see them add some pancakes and spreads to the menu, potatoes and a meat (sausage?) too. Coffee Bodum-style, which I appreciated. - internet seems to be intermittent, but this was a problem at many places we stayed. Ask the staff to reset the modem or turn it off or whatever the guy did when we asked why it wasn’t working. On another note, I had read through reviews before booking and saw there were a few comments about cockroaches. I didn’t see even one. ##### Anonymous Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sondre Aug 3, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Go somewhere else Awful place in poor condition ##### Sondre Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 23, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Établissement bien situé (à proximité du terminal des ferries, de la plage et de sites à voir).
