This is a good value for money hotel and couldn't be more convenient for the ferry terminal and catching the morning ferry. The room was fairly basic but clean and worked perfectly well for an overnight stop. Reception was friendly and helpful.

OK for a one night stay when you get off the ferry, as it's very close. However, the bar closes at 10pm, which isn't good timing, as that's when the ferry arrives! Rooms are small, clean and basic. Good breakfast buffet with local products.
