equipped room steep hill
the room was really well equipped. i found cereals, yoghurt, milk, and snacks right there in the room, it was awesome! being so close to town and the ferry and railway station made getting around super easy even though i had to walk up a steep hill.
the walk back from town involves a pretty steep hill, a small price to pay!

Adequate stay. Some concerns
damp smell unwelcoming host
the location was convenient for accessing nearby attractions.
The shower wasn't great. I noticed a damp smell , made me hesitant to use it. also, the host seemed less cute than i expected, and did not ask about my stay upon departure. the price i paid didn't seem to match the quality.

a cozy stay
clean room accommodating hostess convenient location short walk
i found my room to be a good size, it had a very clean appearance. the hostess presented herself as friendly, being accommodating to my needs. buses served the area near pulpit hill, though some steep walking was necessary. i appreciated that it was a short walk to the bus station and the ferry.

the location was great, providing easy access to nearby amenities. the hotel's position on a hill meant a short walk down to town. a slightly longer walk back up was needed, which i considered beneficial exercise after meals.

Adequate Stay with Some Issues
old shower curtain audible noise
The shared bathroom was not ideal. The shower curtain looked old. I also noticed the sound of people talking in the room above was quite audible at night and became irritating. I had to use earplugs to get some sleep. The noise was unexpected in such a small place
