The Nines

Excellent location close to the harbour with bags of character.

There’s no lift and the stairs are a bit steep.

One of those hotels where the room itself becomes part of the experience. The location is extraordinary. My room has a beautiful bay window looking directly over the sea and the marina, and I could genuinely spend hours sitting there. There is a wonderfully comfortable corduroy armchair by the window, so you can work, have your morning coffee or simply sit and watch the water. Combined with the very high ceilings, the room feels wonderfully spacious and rather special. But what has impressed me just as much as the setting is the hospitality. I arrived after a completely sleepless night, several hours before the official check-in time, expecting simply to leave my things and wait. Instead, the staff managed to give me my room early. It was such a thoughtful gesture at exactly the moment when it mattered most. And that warmth hasn’t been limited to check-in. Everyone I have encountered has been genuinely lovely. Even the small conversations with the staff add something to the atmosphere. Nothing feels forced or overly formal; you simply feel very welcome here.

Location and very friendly helpful staff

Good location. Friendly and helpful staff.

Loud music at night time.
