My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was superb, being so close to the train station and main attractions, but the room felt cramped even after two upgrades. The service was good, with friendly staff, though not ideal for a long holiday. The dining options were decent, but not outstanding. Overall, a mixed experience.

The room felt claustrophobic even after upgrades and lacked space for amenities like a crib, but it was clean and looked into the next room.

Our stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious but faced an indoor courtyard with no outdoor view, which made them quite dark. The service was friendly and helpful but lacked attention to detail in some aspects. The location was convenient for ferry travelers but needed more staff for a smoother experience. The dining options were good, catering to both children and adults at a reasonable rate, but there were some issues with cleanliness during breakfast. Overall, a decent choice for a short stay between locations.

Despite being spacious, the rooms facing the indoor courtyard with no outside view were unfortunately quite dark. A kitchen nearby caused some unwanted scents.

The hotel's top-notch location is great for ferry travelers, centrally located near Markens, ideal for a one-night stopover. However, there were cleanliness issues in the surroundings that affected the overall ambiance.

The hotel had rooms without windows to the outside, but facing an interior covered patio. The rooms were basic but comfortable, featuring a surprisingly spacious bathroom. However, the lack of ventilation made it uncomfortably hot at night. The service was attentive and helpful, with staff wearing quirky 'pretty damn good' polo shirts. The location was convenient, within a 5-minute walk to restaurants, supermarkets, train station, and ferry terminal. The dining experience was average with satisfying options. Facilities were decent overall.
