LizzieUnited KingdomThe staff were very friendly and kind and let me into my room early which was particularly appreciated when I was not feeling that well.

KrystynaAustraliaLiked the historic character of hotel and rooftop breakfast with views (lots of stairs). Ideal central location for exploring Stonetown- easy enough to take luggage to Old Fort for taxi. Lunch good in the cafe too.
