Ehhh

Very basic room. Converted dorm room or something. But if you’re on a budget, it’s clean so you can’t go wrong. But if you want any kind of creature comfort, try somewhere else.

Not a hotel

This is a dormitory for a local college, not a hotel. Misrepresented on the advertisement. We arrived and had to leave requested a refund since this wasn't as described in the the description. Requested double beds and each room had a small bed typical for a single person.

Aptly named! A little hard to find. Quiet and peaceful except for the seagulls at 8 pm and 4 am! Right around the corner from the busand train station; a minutes walk! Had all required amenities for convenience! Ample storage in the rooms to tuck luggage out of the way. Excellent in these regards. No air conditioning. Reception will provide fans on request. Ok with windows open but very difficult to close the blind with some windows when open. Some windows unfortunately do not open much! Odd designs. Cleanliness less than desirable! We found an empty captain Morgan bottle under one of the beds when we were leaving. While we were thrilled to know they had laundry facilities on site, we could not use them as we were thoroughly disgusted by the grime and filth in the gaskets of 2 of the 3 machines. We did not bother to check the third. The bathroom was dimly lit and had no proper ventilation.

Overall not bad. Close to city center, easy to get to parking, quiet and safe. Not great help at the front desk, especially after hours when checking in. Room was fine, but got warm and no ventilation or ability to open window, only a small fan.

Room was very clean, location was hard to beat, 5-10 minute walk to anything and everything. We visited during a warm couple of days so the lack of air conditioning was a little tough but bearable.

A nice surprise

A very comfortable hotel. The beds are quite small, but that’s the only complaint. Extremely reasonable rates. A nice garden courtyard. Friendly staff. Great location.
