Charming Boat Stay

convenient locationfriendly staffgood breakfastunreliable wifi
I found the location very convenient. The ferry is right across from the central train station and this required very little schlepping of luggage. You cross a street, get on the ferry, and a short walk gets you to the hotel.. I enjoyed the friendly staff and the very good breakfast. I hope to return soon.
The WiFi was not consistently usable . I tried both their main network and a private network with a password the host gave me, but neither worked well.
Dining

The breakfast included scrambled eggs served hot in little ceramic dishes, which I enjoyed. Two terraces offered tables and views of the waterwith a peaceful setting for meals.
