When we arrived on Saturday late afternoon the pubs downstairs and in the neighbourhood were buzzing. I was initially concerned that it might be noisy but it was totally quiet up in the hotel rooms. The room was tasteful and cosy, loved the bathrobe and slippers and the great shower. Comfy bed, black out blinds. Fabulous breakfast. Parking is not provided and is fairly expensive locally.

Conveniently located steps away from the Princess Cruises pier (Ocean Cruise Terminal, Berth 46). Historic ambiance and delicious full breakfast included. The room was nicely appointed and comfortable. We would stay here again.

Beautiful pub hotel in the heart of the historic district. However, check first what floor your room is on because you might need to carry luggage up four flights.
