I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The room had a postcard view of the yachts, and although the lack of a fixed safe was a small downside, the location just in front of the harbour was magical. The service was top-notch and the friendly staff went above and beyond, especially with quick assistance after a long flight. The location in Nelson's Dockyard was perfect for exploring and the dining experience, while basic, still had its charms. The facilities were good overall, enhancing my overall experience.
