Wouldn't stay again

Tiny tiny room, barely 7ft x 7ft. No kettle in room. Had to go downstairs to shared kitchen area. No ensuite bathroom, again downstairs to toilet and shower room. They were very clean but with mobility issues it was hard work. Parking is ltd to around 5 spaces then you pay for a pass to street park in surrounding streets. but again hard to find a space. Expensive for such a tiny room, door nearly touched the bed when you opened it.

I booked the double en-suite room at this hotel/hostel and I was amazed by it. Great sized room, clean, comfy bed, everything worked and the en-suite even had a bath in it. For the price I paid, I couldn’t complain at all. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The only small issue I had was when I arrived to check in - the main door to the hotel was locked and there was no one in the reception to notice I was standing outside. However upon calling the hotel to explain, I was quickly greeted and welcomed in and it was explained that the reception isn’t manned all the time but there is always someone available on-site and can be contacted by phone. I had a great nights sleep as the hotel was very quiet, no doors slamming or loud parties. It was amazing and the hotel has a small number of car parking spaces which is great as the on street parking is time limited or permit holders only Monday to Saturday. I would stay there again

It was really modern and clean inside; shared kitchen area with fridge, freezer, microwave, and free tea and coffee, which was great. Our room was quite hot as it was on the top floor, but when we asked, they brought up a fan, which was great and solved the problem. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location for the beach with bar and restaurants very close by.

Very pleasant budget hotel. Parking was available but limited. Decent little hotel. A short walk to the scenic promenade. Emily on reception was brilliant and very helpful! Only minor negative would be lack of blackout curtains. Overall a great place to stay at a decent price!

Doesn’t make clear that it’s shared bathrooms

It’s a stretch to call it a hotel. One kettle for the full building. The room had damp patches on the roof, was unbearably hot and was one floor down/up from the closest bathroom. Bathrooms themselves had mould in the shower sealant, and no shower gel in the dispenser. Booked for two nights, left after 1.
