老板和工作人员都很友善,早餐虽然不算丰富但是能吃饱,而且24小时有热水和咖啡,离码头步行5分钟,性价比很不错。

如果床再结实好一点就更完美了

M'ha semblat molt net, el personal també molt amable! Esmorzar també complet.

S'accedeix sense clau i les habitacions tampoc hi havia claus... Només tenia una taquilla petita per posar-hi les coses importants però podria ser insuficient. Les lliteres es mouen molt i fan soroll, i els llits de dalt no tenen cortines.
