Reviews
The hotel has an older, art deco vintage vibe and rooms are small but comfortable. They have a tiny parking lot and we were able to get a spot and then didn't move until we checked out the next day.
The staff is so helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The bar was closed when we visited and we didn't try breakfast.
It was perfect for a one night stop.

My only mistake was trying the shark for the first time without asking how they prepare it first. Iy is fermented and has a very sharp taste and smell. Did not enjoy that dish.
As for the rest - was absolutely delicious. The smoked puffin had very unique taste and was the highlight of the dinner.
I ordered whale pepper steak, enjoyed it greatly. We also had halibut amd langoustines which were prepared immaculately!
Did not leave room for dessert :(
The place was nice and warm and the ambiance was very pleasant. We ordered the cheese pizza and it was very good. At only stayed for a quick pizza but it would've been nice to go there for dinner.
Good place of you're looking for something familiar.
