    comfortable room
    excellent staff support

    the ranald is in a fantastic spot, just a short walk from everything we needed. the room was very comfortable, and we felt really safe there. the staff went the extra mile by freezing our ice packs and providing ice for our food. i loved that! it was a very mellow atmosphere in the dining area too.

    would recommend.

    I recently stayed at a lovely place where the breakfast was fantastic, especially the salmon bagel! The cozy bar added to our experience, making it perfect for relaxing. I'd definitely return!

    Consider asking for a room away from the front to avoid afternoon heat, as well as checking if a fan without a light is available.

    I enjoyed the modern decor of the hotel and the friendly atmosphere created by the staff. The location was ideal, as everything was within a short walk, making it very accessible for us seniors.

    Improve accessibility for those with mobility challenges.

    comfortable room
    helpful staff
    disappointing atmosphere
    lack of amenities
    overall letdown

    Comfortable stay in a quiet room with helpful staff made for a relaxing experience. The breakfast offered a lovely variety, including some delightful baked eggs. the overall atmosphere didn’t meet expectations and left a sense of disappointment, especially regarding the lack of standout amenities. It’s a convenient spot for exploring local eateries and attractions, but improvements could enhance the overall visit.

    unique breakfast
    convenient location
    cramped room

    The breakfast offerings were unique, featuring delightful baked eggs that definitely set a fresh tone for the day. The location's proximity to the ferry terminal made it super convenient for early departures.

    The room felt a bit cramped, likely due to the hotel being fully booked, which limited any chance for upgrades. As no lift exists, hauling luggage to the first floor can be a hassle. the mattress seemed quite firm, a matter of personal preference that might not suit everyone. The automatic bathroom light turning on was more disruptive than helpful, especially during the night.

    Charming, Cozy, Comforting

    The cozy room was a snug haven with a comfy bed and delightful decor. I loved waking up to plush towels and a power shower that warmed me up after a chilly day. Plus, the best part? It was just a short walk from shops and the ferry terminal!

    Do recommend 🥰✨

    The hotel offered a cozy stay with friendly staff and a great breakfast selection. issues like limited parking and a lack of an elevator made things a bit challenging. I enjoyed the charm of the place, despite the few downsides.
