It looked closed with no office. Expedia had to call to find owner to let me in. 3rd rate place everything cheapest quality possible. Ad misrepresents the place and if you complain owner says you can leave if you don’t like it. Worst place I ever stayed

Ankom til stedet. Da der endelig blev lukket op stod der en meget ubehagelig lugt lige ud i hovedet på os som tegn på meget fugt. Bestemt ikke et sted vi havde spor lyst til at overnatte.

Hostel was close to town and breakfast provided was filling. It's right by a busy road so may not be for light sleepers, but I am usually a light sleeper and I was fine.

Lovely place.
Check in was easy, showed to our room and how to work all the doors. Room was comfortable, kitchen was easily accessible. Very noisy location but perfect for going to the ferry.

Basic but has everything you need.
Check in is easy, beds are very comfortable. Unfortunately it was very noisy due to being on the main road(cars and people walking past). Alma emailed the check in information as we were arriving late. This made check in possible at 1am. We would stay again but bring ear plugs.
