Great location for the beach, short walk to beach and shops. Room had a nice sea view. Comfy bed but did find hairs in it and bathroom was a bit grubby which wasn’t ideal.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Stayed one night, wouldn't stay again. Floor was uneven, bed was squeaky, the blind didn't reach the bottom of the window and let loads of light in. Shower was tiny and shower curtain was stained. Welcome sheet was filthy along with the bathroom floor. Lack of sound proofing. All metal detailing such as the the bathroom hooks and toilet holder were full of paint, I understand that sometimes people slip when painting but it was literally every detail that had it. Location is very central though, and check in was smooth.

The room was a bit tired but functional. The location was good and it was really easy to check in/out. It was really useful having the kitchenette. We did ask for additional blankets as there was just a thin duvet, but were told they didn’t have any. They did respond quickly and provided a small portable heater instead. Overall it was a good budget option.

This property is very close to the beach, pier, restaurants, a laundrette, and bus stops. The proprietor was extremely helpful with storing our luggage until check in time and even took our luggage to the room for us once the room was ready. My only complaint is that it does not have A/C. The room did have a fan, though, and we could open the window to let some air in. Overall I was very pleased to find this little gem! It was perfect for my weekend stay.
