This hotel is a total dump. Rooms are outright unsafe and full of black mold. Missing and loose floor boards are a tripping hazard. Does not look anything like the photos in the Expedia listing and booking info. Massively overpriced, old and falling apart literally.
Unsafe and uneven flooring. Try to walk to the bathroom in the dark at 3am and your sure to trip and fall
Furniture is wobbly and falling apart

The room was clean. The bathroom had no counter space for toiletries. The breakfast was not very good. Had only one coffee machine for a lot of people and was often out of milk, water etc. The only hot item (eggs) was always out, even at 8:30 am when breakfast is supposed to go til 10:00 am The location is excellent to the train and bus station

Nice hotel located close to city center (10-20 minutes walk to restaurants, shopping, attractions). We appreciate the early check in and underground safe parking (about Euro 20/night). Spacious rooms. Refrigerator did not cool much. WiFi did not work. A/C worked well.

We wanted a hotel with parking close to the ferry terminal for the next morning. This fit the bill. It was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful especially with a lot of luggage. Diverse array of breakfast foods were available the next morning. The area is busy and street parking is difficult. Fortunately they have a garage below with easy in/out access.
