    Everything. Really good room and facilities, less than 5 minutes' walk from my 5am ferry check-in at the pier. I particularly appreciated the clear communication, the exceptionally comfortable pillow and super-smooth bed linen, the good lighting,...

    Location, it's perfect, especially if you need to catch an early morning ferry, the place is literally minutes from the pier. It's clean, the bed is comfortable, the AC works fine.

    I loved this place! Only downside there is no filtered water to refill your bottles. Only new plastic bottles which is a bit of a shame as filtered water works just as well and saves a lot of plastic... The rest all fine! Good clean rooms,...

    The room was spacious and clean. There was even a mini fridge which was nice. The location in relation to the port is also very good. There are lots of restaurants, bars and places to rent motor bikes around.
