Affordable, bed was comfortable, easy access to the showers and toilet. I also like how near it is to the ferry terminal. I am just disappointed the lamp by the lower bunk in Cell 27 was not working, and the wall outlet is a bit far from the beds.

Undermåligt boende för ett acceptabelt pris.

Okej för att stanna en sen natt till en tidig morgon, men det finns tyvärr flera faktorer som drar ner betyget, främst att faciliteten känns ofräsch och behöver upprustas. Ytterst lite ansträngning hade krävts för att uppgradera faciliteten. Priset kompenserar något, men borde ärligt talat vara ännu billigare med tanke på nästintill obefintligt underhåll/ omkostnader. In/ utcheckning är smidigt, vilket är tacksamt om man endast sover här en natt, vilket är det enda jag skulle rekommendera om man anländer sent med färjan. Kontakt med personalen brukar vara väldigt svårt, fick svar på 1/2 mail. Oklart ang. parkeringsplats. Sängarna är dåliga och madrasserna har fläckar/ bör ersättas eller rengöras med textilvårdsmaskin.

安く済ませるならよし、クオリティ重視ならなし

とにかく安く済ませたい方以外にはおすすめできません。 まず、宿泊日当日にメッセージが来なかったため建物のコードが分かりませんでした。 建物に入った後、鍵を手にしましたが、部屋のドアが鍵を使っても空きませんでした。 そのため、スタッフ不在の時間だったので電話をかけましたがかからず、このアプリでオペレーターに相談しました。その後また同じ番号にかけるように指示をされたので、かけるとかかりました。事情を伝えるとスタッフの方が駆けつけてくださり、ドアを開けてくださいました。 (結局ドアの建て付けが悪かっただけで、力強く押せば開きました) 水場が違う建物にあるため、トイレやシャワーの時は雨の中移動しなければなりませんでした。
