Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No reviews to verify experience — There are no guest reviews on file, so the high rating and strengths are based solely on the property's stated amenities and category scores.
  • Limited room types — The room selection is compact – five categories – and all are either triple or quadruple configurations, which may not suit solo travellers or couples wanting a standard double.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — Late arrivals after 11:30 pm are not accommodated by the standard check-in hours, which could be a constraint for overnight flights or ferry delays.
  • No breakfast listed — The amenities do not include breakfast, so guests need to plan for meals elsewhere or use the outdoor dining area for self-catering.
