Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Like: Garden and quirky endearing Villa. Showers ok. Bed was ok. Free basic breakfast but as no milk was provided only bread jam or toast were possible. Dislike: Thought we booked en suite but only a double was allocated. The advertised free shuttle to ferry was not available and hasn’t been for years. Spa out of order. Kitchen was filthy - sticky floors and not enough tea towels so the three or so were soaking wet. Hardly hygienic. Very little space in fridge and no freezer. No spare key held by hostel, so if you locked room and forgot to take key (or lost it) you were locked out permanently. Very noisy in morning due to heavy long running port infrastructure improvements and an inconsiderate family making loads of noise before 6 am as they were leaving!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Pros: -Great location, super quick walk from the ferry and cafes -friendly atmosphere -good sized private rooms with sink -nice garden area for relaxing -great value for money Areas for improvement -people were quiet but the nature of the building means if anyone arrives late it’s quite loud due to the wooden floors and thin walls -kitchen wasn’t well equipped - no baking trays, foil, salt/pepper, which was a bit limiting if you want to cook for yourself.

Nice stay, conveniently located. The spa pool wasn't working very well and they were a little short on dishes and cutlery in the kitchen, but other than that good facilities, enjoyable.

The old charm of the interior. The outside of the building may need a coat of bright paint. Room should be provided with a stand-alone cloth hangar for winter jacket and bath towel.
