8.2/10 Very Good! (270 reviews)

Our room was quiet and comfortable with a beautiful view of the water. The hotel was easily accessible by bus and it was a quick trip from the ferry terminal. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a lovely place to stay and we would recommend it.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (20 reviews)

Great place, much bigger than anticipated. GPS was tough to use to get to this place because the map thinks it’s inside the tunnel. Once we figured that out it was very easy to get to and a quick walk to the shops/cafes at the port. Awesome to have the opportunity to wash clothing as well, was hard to figure out the machine but that’s just because we’re English speaking ! Great place!
