Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's optimal location near the harbor and easy access to the bus station. Cleanliness of the rooms received positive remarks, although many reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with the small size and poor organization of the rooms. Amenities like bathroom fittings were often mentioned as lacking, and while the value for money was noted positively by some, others felt the pricing was not justified given the room conditions.
