Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated conveniently for exploring the area, with good food and drink options at fair prices. The rooms offer limited privacy as they face other lodges, but the service is extremely welcoming and helpful.
The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was brilliant, near the ferry terminal and with a sea view room. The dining experience had its ups and downs, leaning towards being excellent, and the facilities were satisfactory.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and well-equipped room, with a fridge and microwave, in a building that initially seemed a bit dodgy but turned out to be very clean and comfortable. The sea view was a nice bonus, and the bed was really cozy. However, the building's appearance from the outside may raise an eyebrow.
