The staff was lovely and accomodating. The rooms are warm with everything i needed. I didn't like uht milk SO staff provided fresh milk to put in the fridge. The bathroom was super clean and well stocked with good quality toiletries.
The room was tiny and up a very awkward staircase. Especially for carrying luggage.

The hotel is quirky and characterful. A mini fridge with water was available in my room. I saw a nice courtyard that looked well maintained. There aren't chairs in the room, but a cozy nook offered comfortable chairs.

The location is handy for trains and the waterfront. It is approximately 6 kilometers from the ferry harbor. I find that this is a great spot.

The staff was friendly. They provided fresh milk for my room when I asked, because I don't like uht milk. The bathroom was spacious, super clean, and well-stocked with toiletries. The shower was excellent.
My room was tiny. It was up a very awkward staircase, especially when carrying luggage. There was a fan, but it was too noisy to sleep with. I would have preferred a quieter option.
