Roots Hotel
"Stylishly decorated and in pristine condition. Its location is perfect. The area itself is a little bit tatty but it’s minutes away from the old town, loads of restaurants and the marina. The staff couldn’t do enough for you, even helping me out with the uber app on my phone. The room was lovely. ..."

"The only parking available was street parking and it was difficult to find at times as well a difficult getting in and out of parking sports. The bathroom was very small with no mirror but otherwise it was a good stay."
