Very good for a night stay when you have a ferry to catch in the morning.
Pros:

Location is perfect and the open patio on the first floor is great.

Cons:

The showers/bathrooms had water everywhere on the floor, so it is uncomfortable. The faucets are with a push system and automatic stop: Not comfortable..

consiglio anche per solo una notte prima del volo aereo
Pros:

Lenzuola, asciugamani, bagno in comune diviso tra donne e uomini, 4 docce, tutto pulitissimo, wifi, A/C, ascensore, rooftop con vista, ma la cosa migliore è stato il servizio, ci hanno tenuto i bagagli quando eravamo in giro per l’isola, sia il giorno del nostro arrivo che della nostra partenza ma soprattutto ci hanno fatto fare la doccia prima della partenza del volo per l’Italia, tutto incluso.
Parcheggio in strada, si trova facilmente in zona, oppure privato a pagamento per 2000xpf/auto/notte.

Cons:

parcheggio

Pros:

We stayed in a capsule room - it was perfect! We just needed one night before catching the ferry, directly across the street. Air Conditioning was very strong. Room was super clean. Sheets and bedding very nice and bed comfortable. And nice little amenities, with lights and tv and big mirror and mini fridge. And bathrooms down the hall were super clean and accesible. Outdoor lounge near the rooms with coffee and nice seating were a bonus!
