Old fashioned, a bit tired building in an excellent location. Roof top terrace with the best view and excellent coffee skillfully prepared every morning by Tim, the night porter, made it unbeatable.

The hotel is very old and super over priced for the condition of the rooms and bathroom. There was one young lady at the front desk that was incredibly rude and unhelpful. There are other newer and fancier hotels much closer to front street for the same price.
