Cannot Recommend this HOSTEL

It’s called HOSTEL Balai not Hotel - BIG difference. It was closed on arrival (14:00) so no 24hr reception. The staff left in the early evening so only guests left in the building! The bar was shut. The room was small and hostel-like It is very rundown. Only stay for a night if you have to. Lack of staff worrying for women travelling alone.

Clean and bright

Clean and bright, staff very helpful and attentive. Location is at the outer edge of town but only a 20 minute walk from the train station, or from where the ferry shuttle bus drops you off, Beach is just 5 min walk at the back of the hotel. Lovely grounds breakfast could do with a bit of a lift but good none the less

Gebäudesubstanz und Außenanlagen machen den Eindruck dass das Hotel bereits aufgegeben wurde. Kein Restaurant, kein Frühstück. Auf Nachfrage wurde ein Frühstücks-Gutschein ausgehändigt, der in einem Straßencafe eingelöst werden konnte: 1 Kaffee, 1 Saft, 1 Croissant. Zimmer rel. klein.

Nous y avons passé 1 nuit en septembre 2023 pour prendre le ferry qui est à 3mn. Certes ce n'est pas du grand luxe mais notre chambre était très grande et propre et grand parking. La personne de l'accueil a été charmante et nous a accompagnée jusqu'à notre chambre en faisant l'effort de parler français. Bref, hôtel qui fait le job pour 1 nuit de transit... et moins pire que tous les commentaires qui nous avaient bien refroidis !
