The rooms are well-appointed, spacious and very clean. The staff are helpful and friendly. The food at Little Nel is very good and since it's on the premises, is very handy for breakfast or lunch.The location is handy to the town and the Marina, but being on Government Road means it can be noisy. The 'garden rooms' are not, as I'd hoped, actually in a garden but are located at the front of the property, facing onto a small patch of fake lawn with a hedge separating it from the road above. It feels rather claustrophobic and is noisy. Even though they're north facing, they can be dark. If I stayed there again, I would try to get one of the north facing balcony rooms on the upper floors..

The kitchenette had detergent and a tea towel which was great. Most hotels tell you to wash up and give you no facilities
