Loved by The Star Hotel guests
"Appreciate the building for it's antiquity - the stairs creak, rooms have Narnia wardrobes, some have air con and some don't but it's got loads of character."
"The one thing that especially struck me in the room was the abundance of electric sockets."
"Great location. Close to good dining, shopping and the cruise port."

“In my opinion, the location is a strong point, placing you steps away from shopping and nightlife; parking, while an added cost, is convenient in this central area. From what I gathered, the rooms provide comfortable beds and are generally clean, making it suitable for a short stay. It seems to me a practical choice if you prioritize being in the heart of the city.”

The room i got was not great. the peeling paint was visible and quite distracting. the bathroom was very small with no space to hang anything. We loved the pool. but the tv reception was also poor, so i could barely watch anything in the evenings.

the bathroom was a bit of a letdown. the shower didn't drain properly, so water pooled. there wasn't a safety mat either, so the floor felt slippery. i also noticed some mould in the bathroom (probably needs better ventilation).
