Good value place to sleep
Facility was basically a hostel. Room was cramped for three adults. Private bathroom and shower was clean. Common kitchen. Quiet area. Good value for lodging.

As this accommodation was inexpensive we were pleasantly surprised by our nice room and the breakfast being included. We would recommend dinner at The Crow tavern.

The hotel is good for the price. Minimum facilities but clean and convenient for a short visit. The owner was always helpful and took us to the ferry when leaving the city

Quite a shock to the system when we arrived. The whole place was shabby and felt unclean. The sink leaked in the bathroom, although Hutiner tried his best to fix it, it still leaked..The 'hot' tub was cold and I wouldn't have used it had it been hot, as it also was old and unwelcoming. The photos on the website make the place look so much better than it is. The whole place was dirty, tired and old. My recommedation would be to stay somewhere else.

Not good but cheap
The hostel was quite unclean, especially the kitchen was disgusting. The whole place also smelled like cigarrette. I thought the breakfast was supposed to start at 7.30 but there was no one/nothing there then.
The doors can not be locked which feels a bit uncomfortable as a female solo traveler.
However it is a cheap option to stay in and you can park your car right in front of the hostel. It is also nice that the toilet and shower are in the room.
