I liked the fact we could check in anytime and was close to ferry terminals, apart from that what it said about our room was a fake no privacy and very small

My room was clean. The Tv didn’t work, the fridge was a small makeup fridge not a bar fridge and the shower drain was blocked so flooded not just my bathroom but also my room and the hallway

The staff were great and the 3 bedroom apartment clean. However there was no cookware other than an old ricecooker and an eletric frypan. There were no pots or bowls. Other the table cutlery there were no kitchen utensils at all. There were no cereal bowls or dessert spoons. There was no blow dryer in the bathroom. No ishcloth, teatowels or dishwashing liquid. No plug for the kitchen sink. This place could be great but lets itself down when it cant provide the very basics. Would not stay again.

My hotel room did not have view of the harbor, it was small, clean. The mattress was very hard, did not find it very comfortable. Reasonable enough for price and duration of my stay. The digital key I was given to enter the premises after 10pm, did not work when I arrived back in early hour of dawn, had to call management to have them open the door for me so I could get into my room. (Had to wait more than 15 minutes in the cold outside while I waited) Thankfully they answered and opened, but they should make sure these work at all hours to prevent this happening again.

There was no heater and Wtgn can have cold mornings like I had. No hairdryer like most places. And the shower and toilet were in a very enclosed space. Just had to make sure that it was all dry after.

Excellent room and leafy outlook. Road access fine for my car but potentially problematic for large vehicles

The cheap Chinese usb fridge was useless. The room was too cramp, the chair began to fall apart from simply siting in it. Everything felt weird and disjointed. Happy and polite staff but that's not enough.

It was OK. I never saw a single staff member! I booked on line and arrived to find my registration for at the front counter. When I left I dropped my key in the drop box. Strange. No heating, no cooling. Hot summers day and opening a small window wasn't much help. The grounds were awfully run down! TV aerial lyyerally falling off the roof! Stacks of cardboard boxes and overgrown plants
