Location was perfect! It was super close to many restaurants. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable! I got tea, coffee, and biscuits in my room. It was a nice touch. Water in the fridge too!
Doors were slammy. People upstairs stomped around. people ran up and down the stairs. It was a little noisy.

kinda meh, really

weird smell broken remote
the room i got, a double room private bathroom, had this weird smell, kinda like old socks. also, the tv remote didn't work, and i'm no rocket scientist but i expect these things to function. i asked someone about it, but they were like 'oh well' not even trying to resolve it. and the stairs, they're a killer if you have bags.

mixed feelings about this place

small room steep steps
the room was smaller than i expected and lacked air conditioning. i also found it difficult to manage my luggage up the steep stairs. the lack of a lift made things quite inconvenient.

Solid Stay Near the Port

clean room helpful staff convenient location coffee options
The room had several coffee options and a water heater for making coffee. My 'Double Room Private Bathroom' was very clean. Staff were helpful (especially with directions). The location made commuting easy because it was in the city center.
There was no lift so it was a bit difficult carrying my luggage up the stairs.
