Pandora Hotel

A well located hotel with bar, restaurant and garden. Credit due to the friendly staff team, and compliments to the (excellent) chef. Having experienced 2 rooms I’d advise considering the sea view. Not so much for the view itself (weather was too bad to benefit from a view this time) but for the mattress. We extended our trip by a night but were moved to a standard room, as there was a £35 surcharge to extend our stay in the original room where our holiday started. The downgraded room was identical to the one we began our trip in, other than window facing the other way and an inferior mattress - very soft so not great slept in that one. Given the hotel was not busy (due to the weather and ferry disruption) it’d have been five stars plus if we’d been offered our original room when we stayed on. Spent a lot of money there on dinner, several nights of bar, etc, so that would have been an ‘exceeding expectations’ opportunity. Otherwise a nice find, nice team and central location. Slight gradient uphill coming home, but overall good value, and well cleaned.

We decided on The Pandora as our usual hotel was fully booked, so glad it was, as we fully enjoyed our 3 nights in this lovely establishment, on entering the decor is befitting of what I would consider to be a once gentleman's residence, with tasty period style furniture and large comfy sofas, in this hotel nothing seems to much trouble by friendly staff, our bedroom had an enormous comfy bed and good views over towards the islands. The breakfasts were a good selection and would fill you up for the day, unfortunately we had no other meals here as our nights were booked by our local friends and family, as to access to the hotel I am in advanced years [wont see 79 again] and found no trouble walking into town and back, but would not suit anyone with a disability. My wife and I will return at some time in the future and wish to thank you all for a wonderful 3 days.

We enoyed our week at The Pandora, all the staff were helpful and friendly, our newly-decorated room was very comfortable and the restaurant food and service were excellent. The lovely gardens were much enjoyed. An easy walk for us into the town too. The fact that there are stairs to the main entrance and down to the dining room was not a problem for us but people with reduced mobility should be aware.
