Pros:

L’emplacement était parfait
Les chambres petites mais propres en soit.

Cons:

Le personnel était surprenant, on a dû taper du point sur la table pour avoir une deuxième couverture car elle était « beaucoup trop petite pour deux personnes » et ils voulaient nous faire payer une seconde.
Cependant notre deuxième nuit était parfaite et le personnel a été très à l’écoute nous recommandons quand même cet établissement.

Hotel za eno noč zatadi zgodnjega odhoda iz pristanišča.
Pros:

Lokacijo sem izbral, ker sem zjutraj odplul iz pristanišča, ki je 100 m vstran, zato je lokacija za namen odhoda v pristanišče odlična, za kaj druga pa ne; ampak to mora vsak vedeti, ko rezervira nastanitev.

Cons:

Sobe so ekstremno male, pohištvo iztrošeno.

Great location, tiny room
Pros:

Excellent location next to Pier 1.
The room we booked did not resemble the photos on Booking.com at all. It was smaller than a shoe box, with no window at all. After I complained, the staff happily and helpfully moved us to the family room, which was comfortable and resembled the photos of the room I booked.
Comfortable, but no facilities. Very adequate for our purpose of catching the ferry early next morning.

Absolute worst hotel experience ever
Pros:

Nothing to like here

Cons:

The only good thing is the location is walking distance to the port if you need to ride the boat to another island
Upon arrival I was told they're closed even though I had paid for a reservation already and even confirmed I would be arriving late bc my flight was a late arrival. Had to argue to be let in and then had to deal with a gender confused man that was dressed as a woman working the front desk that was very rude this individual took us to our room and left without a word to us the room was about the size of my closet back home with no towels or toilet paper and the smell of bug insecticide was so strong I could taste it in my mouth the next day. We managed to get 3 hours of sleep before we couldn't take it anymore and left to wait at the pier terrible experience next time I will choose comfort over conscience of location
