Excellent location near the ferry

train stationshelpful stafftrain line
The staff provided help with transportation issues. They informed us of a train line closure. The location is great, right next to the ferry. The bus and train stations are within a 5-minute walk from here.
The air conditioning didn't work very well .

Acceptable stay with some issues

fresh fruitbreakfastcheesebreakfastcute staffpoor heatingthermostat issuecomplaint handling
the breakfast included fresh fruit and cheese. i found it pretty standard but very good. the staff was very nice and cute. (i especially appreciated their hard work!)
The hotel seemed to save on heating. I think they switched it off during the day. they explained that the thermostat worked that way. after my complaint, they turned on the heating and it was finally warm (i had to ask though!).
