Acceptable Stay with Disappointments

small bathroom terrible water pressure

The location was good, close to what i needed.

The bathroom was quite small, and the water pressure in the shower was terrible. My partner and I had real problems with the passcodes. They just didn't work at first. there was a power cut one night, which wasn't ideal.

Good location close to the port

cleanliness easy access fresh linen helpful staff

The location proved convenient, being close to both the port and various shops. Communication regarding check-in was straightforward, and the check-in process was very easy. The room was clean, and I noted the linen and towels seemed freshly laundered. The staff demonstrated friendliness and were quite helpful when needed..

The shower exhibited issues with the water flow. I observed leaks originating from the pipes rather than the shower head.
