"A little weird with no reception, only electronic. But it all worked fine. There's a machine with snacks and beverages, a ping pong table, self serve laundromat with ironing board. And there is an actual human being on-site in a small office. Had no need to interact but was nice to know if you were to have some problem that there is a human being to help. Not sure if there is someone there around the clock or not. Anyway, enjoyed our stay. It's two blocks from the ferry terminal."

Vertikalen

8/10 Good
"The staff were lovely and helpful. The room and bathroom were a good size, though a bit more shelving in the bathroom would be handy for the toiletries. The kettle could do with being on a different tabltor have a longer cable, as you had to either unplug it, or move the cup down to where you could pour. The only other issue, is that the main menu stops at 6 p.m., there are other choices for the next hour, then it closes at 8 p.m. The TV also was problematic, as it gave sound but no picture. Eventually for some reason it actually showed the picture, but it took a good 10 minutes of trying all the buttons, getting annoyed with it and throwing it onto the bed!"
