Fantastic Location in Quiet Neighbourhood
Guests love the location of this hotel. Located in a quiet area of Battery Point between a major yacht club and the city centre, it's an easy walk to Salamanca Bay and the ferry ports. With access to restaurants and cafes close by, this is a convenient location. Called "Shippies" by the locals, many people come here to dine at the onsite restaurant.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms Lack Basic Amenities
The rooms here are quite small, sparsely furnished, and lacking amenities like tissues, mini-fridges, and hairdryers. If you require a TV, pay close attention to the room you rent, as not all rooms come with a TV. Lacking in storage for luggage, this may not be the place for you if you travel with a lot of luggage.
negative:
Breakfast Service Leaves Guests Disappointed
While breakfast is offered, guests say it's quite a poor selection of breads and cereals, and guests are expected to wash their own dishes so the cleanliness level is questionable to many guests.
negative:
Chilly Sleeping Conditions
Rooms are quite cold and guests say the column heaters don't adequately heat the space. Alternative sources of heat, like electric blankets, are not provided either, so you may want to pack some warm clothes for sleeping.
