Basic hotel very near stations & ferry port.

Basic hotel very near the bus station, rail station and ferry port. Convenient for a one night stay. Comfortable bed. The room & bathroom were very hot and we had to keep the air conditioning on the whole time with only 24°c outside. It's a basic plug in one.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel is basic but clean. It's 5 minutes walk from the bus/train station. The street outside is noisy at night with people, vehicles, road sweepers and collection of garbage and glass at 4am! The wifi was ok in the lobby but wouldn't connect in our room. Also the internal plumbing/waste pipes were close to our heads so we could hear toilets flush. Didn't book or use breakfast.

Passable but room flooded

Hotel was functional and clean. Very little parking in the neighbourhood so it took a long time and long walk to find a place and reach the hotel. The room was large and comfortable. Breakfast barely adequate. However the shower drain was blocked and flooring sloping out of the bathroom so the room got flooded soaking our belongings. It was an obvious structural problem but noone was on site to resolve the problem.

Médiocre

Hôtel sale, pas insonorisé, vous entendez tout ce qu’il se passe dans les chambres d’à côté, bruit toute la nuit, bar juste à côté de l’hôtel où ça crie jusqu’à 3h00. Literie: matelas ou on sent tout les ressorts autant dormir dans sa voiture et aucun lit double. Tache sur le lit, serviette trouée
