Pros:

L’emplacement proche du ferry.

Cons:

J’ai trouvé des cheveux à deux reprises dans mon lit « propre » !!! 🤢
Les coussins sont tellement fins que dormir sans serait pareil.
Odeur nauséabonde dans les douches et toilettes.

Bruyant et non reposant
Pros:

L’emplacement, proche du port donc pratique pour les arrivées depuis les îles environnantes.

Cons:

Le bruit, la chambre étant au rdc et attenante aux espaces de vie communs, on entendait tous les bruits. L’isolation des chambre est proche de zéro !

Good base for port but basic and not the cleanest
Pros:

Well located near port - we stayed 1 night before ferry and walked to port. A short walk to restaurants etc for evenings.
Ok coffee shop area on ground floor to sit and relax.
Communal showers and bathroom seemed ok.

Cons:

Room was dirty - water coming from floor in bathroom and bugs above bed, stains on bed sheets. We stayed in delux room with own bathroom and it has a bright light all night from the hall (no cover on top window) and was very noisy. Not a good nights sleep.
Ok for the price and location but would not return.

Good option if u gotta catch a ferry the next day
Pros:

Close to ports

Cons:

Locally it counts as a fairly decent deal
But once u compare it to the south east asian region suddenly it is overpriced...
