harbour views and local charm
fine views convenient access dog-friendly hotel
The location offered fine views right over the harbour (i really enjoyed watching the boats come and go). the hotel allowed dogs, made traveling with my furry friend easier. it was also convenient to walk to the ferry. The access was only about 300 meters away.
The room was a bit small. It did have just enough space for the essentials, though.
