Charming Stay Near the Historic Dockyard
convenient location clean bathroom japanese food
I found the location convenient. I could easily walk to shops and restaurants. The room was comfortable and I had a clean bathroom. I really enjoyed the Japanese food served at the restaurant. It was a nice surprise!
The breakfast menu had limited lactose-free options.

outdated decor poor water pressure
the location was pretty convenient, near transport links, made getting around easy enough.
The room really disappointed me. the decor seemed kinda old, like it hadn't been updated in ages. also, the water pressure in the shower was awful. It was difficult to have a proper wash.
