We have stayed all over the world and this was the most run down and dirty hotel we have ever stayed in. Disgusting and the amount of black mold is a health hazard.

Reasonably priced single room with great view over the harbour. Bedding was clean and crisp and room of a good size. Bathroom very clean and adequate. Slightly squeaky floorboards and sound from room next door but to be expected in a hotel of this age. Comfortable lounge to have a drink in the evening and look at the water.

Good Seaview from large room. Bed matress requires replacing. As the main purpose of our visit here was for somwhere to sleep for a night, this has to be marked down as bed was terrible.
