Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel room was basic but large, with all the facilities I needed; however, it was loud due to noises from the air con or fridge. The location was great, close to amenities, seafront, and city center.
The hotel has ups and downs. The rooms need a good clean but were overall decent. There was an ant infestation in the bathroom and the noise from the main road could be bothersome, but the location is great and the staff is friendly.
The hotel is well-presented and tidy, but some aspects like the dark corridors and worn-out walls and carpets need attention. Be cautious with hot showers to avoid setting off the fire alarm. The location is convenient, close to the shopping area and eateries, although the bed felt unstable. The dining options are good but limited to specific days. Overall, a decent stay with friendly staff and some room for improvement.
