Cons:

It was so loud. We could hear everything from the lobby/ cafe from our room all night and in the morning. The area was good if you are getting the ferry but so dodgy and it felt very unsafe. No where to eat around.

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.
