Central Location with Basic Comforts
convenient locationpleasant parkfriendly staff
The location was very convenient. A short walk led to the seafront. There was an i360 tower also nearby, and supermarkets were easily accessible. I also found pubs and cafés just around the corner. The beautiful park next door was a pleasant surprise.
The staircase felt steep, giving me a slight concern about its condition.
Rooms

The beautiful double room included necessary facilities. The room services are fair enough with the offered price, though I noticed some wear and tear, it was generally functional for a short stay.
Location

This accommodation features a very central position and is close to shops and the sea. I also appreciated the short walk to the i360 tower and nearby supermarkets for essential needs.
Dining
8/10
I could easily grab tea or coffee. This was available in the room. This is not something possible in all accommodations, and I found it very handy after arriving.

The location was close to shopping areas.
The room was quite disappointing. I could hear conversations and noise from other rooms through the thin walls. A constant banging noise came from the hallway, disrupting my sleep.

The location is very central. A short walk accesses the seafront and nearby shops. genuinely friendly staff members are present throughout a stay. a beautiful park is situated next door offering a lovely bonus.
the noise from the door constantly opening and slamming against the wall was bothersome, especially since the bed is against that wall.
