This is a gem among a number of other establishments offering accomodation in Paternoster. It is furnished in a quirky but tasteful fashion. Undoubtedly the rooms on the upper floor are lighter etc but if one has a ground floor room, one can always go up to the ample sundeck on the open sundeck of the floor above - sea... More
