The room was very clean. Staff were super friendly… the little breakfast each morning was a nice add on. The rooms are a bit aged but they are still really clean and well kept. Both the bed and the lounge were super comfortable.

Great location, friendly staff and a spacious, clean room. The added complimentary coffee, fruit and pastries was a welcome addition. The only issue for us was the bed was too soft but that’s a personal preference, two thumbs up regardless.

The biggest plus was the location - close to the beach, eateries and the action. The room was dark with a flickering lamp. The balcony was narrow and dirty with no seating. The bathroom was spacious but had no hooks to hang up clothes or towels. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room 8 is street level so could hear the music from across the road in the evening. Will explore other accommodation options next time.
