可能當地本來就比較潮濕,進門就是一股潮濕的氣味,地板也是黏糊糊的。當時水龍頭下水開關都壞了。除了前台部分員工poker face以為,其餘都還算熱情。地理位置可以,在老城,去哪裡都較方便,洗澡比較舒服。

The hotel was located pretty close to everything which was nice. When we went in the room it smelt odd and the AC was not working.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ballast very much. It is located within walking distance of many things to do, see, and eat. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and that was comforting. The bathroom, while clean, has a few unique characteristics. The sink has very little room between the faucet and sink bottom. The commode is extremely low to the ground. We found it quite odd. We would stay again requesting a water view room.
