rooms were v good we had two rooms and they were next to each other the only ones on the floor. The rooms were clean basic but just what we wanted for a two night stay. Had read some bad reviews but these did not aply yo our stay. We were greeted in a friendly manner and everything about the hotel was explained to us. The staff were very attentive through out our stay. The location was excellent for the beach and the shopping. Would certainly stay here again . no English TV channels

The front desk clerk, Richie, was very friendly and accommodating. We were given an occupied room which has a suspicious bag. After going down stairs and explaining this to Richie he gave us another room that he had checked and deemed clean. The room still seemed unkept and the shower was questionable with a hole on the floor that act as a drainage.

Simple and unpretentious hotel with relatively basic accommodation and in-room facilities. But that's exactly what I expected for the price. Breakfast was excellent and being on a budget with no time pressure I enjoyed it lesiurely. Pleasantly buzzy bar on the ground floor was a plus too. The only minor niggle I have is that the hotel signage isn't facing you if you walk along the promenade and then go down the street. I passed it when I first walked past despite the fact that it is correctly placed on the map.

Location Without doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, the room 31 is not fit for purpose , dirty , no day light, shower unusable, I have tried hard to be as objective as I can , but this hotel should not be trading as one.
