The layout of the building was very interesting. It did not seem like one room after another, the rooms were well separated for more quiet.

6/10 Okay

The location isn’t great. It’s 15 min away from the main road. There’s no curtain/bed divider that will add for your privacy. My electric outlet and lamp not working. Locker wise, you need to bring your own padlock to secure your things.

Very nice place! A bit far from the bus station when coming as a backpacker. The private room for two was really small and rather expensive ( 100 £ without breakfast) but the location and the common rooms are nice and comfortable. I would have really appreciated a real coffee for breakfast and not the instant one ☕️.I think a coffee machine would be a good investment 😀

Excellent location. Friendly staff. Generally clean and comfortable. Un able to use showers before 7am which was inconvenient as we were catching the early ferry. Large groups and staff shortages prevented the normal menu being offered.

Very lovely hostile for a family stay. Our private room for six was large and had seating and a washing up basin. Shared toilets and showers were clean and close to the room. Community kitchen was very busy and dining was crowded...we were there during peak season. This is probably better off peak. No close by amenities such as grocery, so expect a walk or drive to the store.
