Friendly staff, average hotel (3/5) but awful Industrial location 1/5, avoid unless you enjoy a dystopian stay with a 24/7 fertiliser factory emitting a ton of non-stop smoke directed towards where you are sleeping.
- 200/300 mt across the dock there is a huge industrial site, likely the largest one you probably might have seen, emitting 24/7 nasty smoke, this factory apparently makes fertilisers and residents in the surrounding areas have made many complaints for years but it is still there, even if they have started building housing and commercial sites right next to it like this hotel
- You can literally smell the fertiliser site throughout the day, you can’t open your windows, for sure it is pretty nasty stuff - apparently higher cancer rates in all surrounding areas. Was very glad we only stayed 2 nights.
- The location, being industrial, is very noisy - you get 200mt long vessels / boats, coming into the harbour at night with noisy diesel engines waking you up at 4/5am unloading / loading stuff into these Industrial sites across the dock.
- The aircon is just terrible, does not allow you to control the temperature, you can only set it +/-3 - celsius from what you find in the room, when we arrived, the room was ridiculously hot (27C) when outside was freezing cold (-1/-2 C), we couldn’t get a decent sleep as there was no way to lower it to a nice 20-21 degrees to sleep comfortably, you could not open the window as the factory smoke is non stop.
