Net buiten centrum, op loopafstand, maar bushalte voor de deur als je niet wilt lopen. Grote, lichte kamer, aparte slaapkamer en met alle faciliteiten. Erg aardige hosts! We waren een dag later dan gepland (ferry voer niet), maar kamer werd na mailtje voor ons vastgehouden.

O quarto internamente é muito bom, grande e limpo. Tudo funcionava. O pessoal que administra o hotel é muito simpático. o Hotel é bem charmoso por fora com sua arquitetura.

Chegamos a noite e o hotel é muito escuro, foi difícil achar a entrada. No quarto que ficamos tem uma tv em cima da cama que fica na sala, muito esquisito.
