"The best feature of this budget "hotel" is undoubtedly its location right on the waterfront -- it even has a private jetty (though no rooms overlook the water as such)."

Request a room close to the water and you'll have less road noise (although harbor traffic never lets up).

"Close to the ferry point, this is one of the few truly waterfront hotels."

Rough Guide
"Stylishly simple rooms flank a sandy courtyard littered with pot plants and votive terracotta statues. Those in the better block (rooms #1–6) have comfy king-sized beds and good showers."
i
Avoid the older budget block on the west side.
