This stay went far far better than my last. The welcome drink and free simple dinner plus the breakfast with a Mediterranean twist were all such a nice treat, thank you. Actually, I thought the breakfast options were great! (I would have liked some crackers to go with the Mediterranean fare.)
I ended up switching from the dorm room to a private room (bed and fridge only, no bathroom) last minute, so I can't comment on the dorm experience.
The private room is small, not much bigger than a large storage room, but I already knew that having stayed here before. Walls and ceiling a bit thin, but I was so tired I slept through.
Bathrooms appeared relatively clean, but by evening some were quite low on paper. When I woke up at 6:20am, I noticed they had been replenished. Thank you.
My only negative this trip is despite informing front desk in advance (at time of booking and the day before) that I would be arriving later in the eve, I was getting messages while still on the ferry telling me check-in is only until 9pm (even though front desk is 24hrs). This was not a good feeling. Staff rectified their error in a very satisfactory way. So heads
Speaking of staff, each one I dealt with were very kind and helpful.
All in all a great stay, and while I had reservations about returning to this place, I'd now feel comfortable to come back.
