Noisy until the nightclub next door closes at 5am. Don't feel like the sweat if areas. Fine for a one night stop if you're heading to the ferry terminal early in the morning.

We stayed on the 1st floor. The 8th floor has a rooftop bar. We could hear the deep bass sounds from the music the ENTIRE night and into the morning when we left at 5:30am. Having said this, the upside was that the hotel staff were extremely friendly, professional and helpful. It was also prefect for a one night stay as the price was right. The room was very small but it was perfectly appointed with super comfortable bunk beds, TV’s, outlets and extremely clean.

The cabin was fine for a night and the hotel was in a good location. Overall recommend. We had a little disagreement with the way the Reeftop handled a situation but they are independent from the hotel.
