Cute Hostel
The kitchen was well organized, and the rooms and bathrooms were kept tidy. The café was an excellent addition with a yummy continental breakfast that we added on.

We enjoyed our stay here, the location is convenient and it has a wonderful view of the harbor. Breakfast was good, but a little expensive.

The accommodation is good. The check in was uncomplicated. The kitchen is well equipped. The rooms are also equipped with the essentials. However, the bed sheets were dirty. The cleanliness could be better.

Quaint guesthouse right near the harbor. We had a lovely view. There is a coffee shop on site for breakfast, and since located right in the town, walkable to restaurants, ferries and scenic hill. Note, we booked a room with private bath, should be updated on Travelocity that it’s actually just toilet/sink, all shower facilities are in the basement. Also, no front desk so you check yourself in to building and room, but felt safe.

The good: beautiful common areas
The bad:
overpriced—no bed linen and no towel unless you pay extra
no breakfast unless you pay $20 extra—not even the simple bread and butter like other guesthouses/backpackers

No check in code because i didnt load the app. I refuse to be forced to load an app to check in. Totally an Experia problem to allow this to happen. Room was totally tiny and more like a hostel... disappointed.

I like all the antique setting. It made me feel back to grandma's house. It made me feel home.
We have difficulty to turn on stove and the manager showed up quickly to show us about the stove.
There are washroom on every floor and several showers in the basement.
