would definitely go back

The room was large and comfy, with a seating area and shower. Nice private bathroom too. I loved the electric kettle and toaster for quick snacks. Staff was super friendly, especially the guy who served us at the bar. Conveniently close to the races and the picturesque harbor, which made for lovely evening walks.

restaurant atmosphere

limited hotel amenities

attention to detail

Spotlessly clean room and very comfortable bed made for a pleasant stay. The shared kitchen facilities were convenient for breakfast, and the soft towels added a touch of luxury. A highlight was the excellent seafood dinner, with great service from attentive staff. the place felt more of a restaurant with rooms rather than a full hotel, and while generally pleasant, some areas could benefit from a bit more attention to detail.

Staying here for three nights was a delight, with fantastic access to Fisherrow Harbour just 500 meters away and the beautiful Hunter's Hall Public Park only almost 4 km away. I really appreciated the clean room and amazing shower that made my stay so comfortable.

The decor gave off a charming, cozy feel that felt like home, and the communal lounge area was bright and welcoming for senior guests, making it easy to relax and socialize in a comfortable setting.

Improved breakfast options would be appreciated.

well-appointed room

great location

we loved our stay at the ship! the room was large and well-appointed, with coffee and tea making equipment. the shared living/kitchen area was a nice touch. it's also super close to the sea front, making it a perfect spot to unwind.

the breakfast in our room was a bit disappointing, though.

Cozy, cozy, cozy

I just loved how spacious and immaculate the Double or Twin Room was, giving me all the feels of a home away from home! The en-suite shower was an absolute dream—so refreshing after a day of exploring. Plus, the shared kitchenette was stocked with goodies like cereals and pastries, making my mornings even sweeter!

totally recommend 🥰✨

had a great stay for 4 nights! the room was really nice, comfy bed, and omg the shower was amazin, best water pressure ever. i liked the shared kitchenette too, it was handy for making a snack. also, it's right next to the bus stop which made getting around super easy.

the mattresses weren't the best, felt the springs a bit. also, could be noisy sometimes with traffic outside.
