Guests appreciate the easy key code access and decent-sized bedrooms, many noting the comfortable mattresses. The inclusion of a kitchen area is often viewed as helpful, and the large screen smart TV is a plus; although some guests have mentioned minor cleanliness issues or that the milk had expired, the newly refurbished rooms and fast free internet add to the appeal.

The cleanliness was Fine, a true testament to their care. I found the bed wonderfully comfortable, providing such restful sleep. Its close proximity to the town centre made exploring quite effortless. Communication was swift. The hosts answered any questions i had almost immediately.
I noticed just a small area in the shower that might need a little attention.

Acceptable Accommodation Near the Terminal

convenient locationbright roomnarrow stairhigh rail
The location was very convenient for accessing the cruise terminal. I found that it was walkable in just about 10 minutes. Plenty of bars and restaurants were VERY close by. Shops a little further into the town centre were available. The heating was GREAT.
Our room was at the top of steep narrow stairs. This was not great with suitcases. The clothes rail was SO high, I couldn't reach it. The room was noisy. I could hear people playing music and singing almost all night long. The volume was EXCEPTIONALLY loud!!!
