Loved the charm and walk ability of the White Star! All of the staff were so kind and welcoming!

8.0

Great location on a charming street! The restaurant was outstanding !

There is no elevator (lift) so that is a bit of a challenge, but Prince was so helpful getting our things to the first floor! The room is pretty small, but the bathroom was large and updated .

Friendliness of staff, location and cleanliness and quality of breakfast

No elevator. A bit challenging with 3 big pieces of luggage and being on top floor.
