I liked the novelty of two century old accommodation. Kudos to the folks keeping this place running as it makes its glacial way towards the harbour. Great location across from the party street.

Very nice room, well maintained and comfortable, with lots of character. Very convenient for restaurants and bars, but not noisy. There were some missing amenities at first, but staff were very helpful. Also, we forgot some clothes when we checked out and they were quite good about helping us get it back.

Our room was unique & cozy, it’s an old building and has no elevator. The building is close to everything, shopping, restaurants & sightseeing. The bed and pillows are comfy, the room has a mini fridge, coffee maker with a couple of mugs and real wine glasses!! Customer service was excellent, there is always someone to help you out. We were happy with our stay!
