Affordable, bed was comfortable, easy access to the showers and toilet. I also like how near it is to the ferry terminal. I am just disappointed the lamp by the lower bunk in Cell 27 was not working, and the wall outlet is a bit far from the beds.

安く済ませるならよし、クオリティ重視ならなし

とにかく安く済ませたい方以外にはおすすめできません。 まず、宿泊日当日にメッセージが来なかったため建物のコードが分かりませんでした。 建物に入った後、鍵を手にしましたが、部屋のドアが鍵を使っても空きませんでした。 そのため、スタッフ不在の時間だったので電話をかけましたがかからず、このアプリでオペレーターに相談しました。その後また同じ番号にかけるように指示をされたので、かけるとかかりました。事情を伝えるとスタッフの方が駆けつけてくださり、ドアを開けてくださいました。 (結局ドアの建て付けが悪かっただけで、力強く押せば開きました) 水場が違う建物にあるため、トイレやシャワーの時は雨の中移動しなければなりませんでした。
