Review summary

This AI-generated summary was based on reviews from multiple 
sites

This historic hotel offers a memorable stay, primarily distinguished by its prime seafront location and rich character, making it a fitting choice for sightseers and history enthusiasts who appreciate a building with a past. While many guests praise the friendly and helpful staff, the hotel's age means it is often described as tired and in need of modernization. It appeals to budget-conscious travelers seeking a central base, and its pet-friendly policy makes it suitable for those traveling with animals. To enhance your experience, consider requesting a room away from the street to mitigate potential noise, and be aware that the hotel is undergoing gradual refurbishment.
