We loved the hotel's cleanliness and the friendly staff, who made our check-in seamless. The communal kitchen was well-equipped and allowed us to prepare meals easily, while the comfortable lounge area was perfect for relaxing after a long day outdoors. The location was ideal, close to good eateries and just a short walk from the ferry terminal, making it super convenient for getting around.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel; the cleanliness stood out, with tidy rooms and a well-maintained kitchen. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the helpful staff provided useful tips about nearby attractions. One of my favorite highlights was its prime location just down the street from Kai Kart—the best spot for fish and chips.
