Super Lage für die Fähre
Pros:

Durch die Lage am Hafen, konnten wir morgens entspannt zur Fähre laufen. Das Zimmer war zwar klein, aber gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Wir hatten ein Problem mit dem Online-Check-In, haben aber sofort Unterstützung vom Personal erhalten. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier übernachten!

Well placed, looks like photos!
Pros:

It was very well placed! Looked like the photos. The no windows did not bother me as I was just there the night to sleep but if I was staying longer, this would be an issue.

Cons:

I can confirm as the others have said, the bathroom smells of mold. Theres definitely an issue here.
