Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Melrose Guest House is a very clean and well-organized accommodation, conveniently located within an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and public transport. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, quiet rooms, and proximity to the town centre, only 5 minutes away, alongside the excellent value for money, though some have noted the desire for more hanging space in the rooms. The inclusion of amenities like a microwave and a big Samsung TV in the room has also been a pleasant surprise for many.

Not Quite a Home Run

wonky taps drab atmosphere
The room had issues. The taps were indeed wonky. I also discovered a distinct lack of hanging space for clothes. The plastic window sills contributed to a rather drab atmosphere.. far from my ideal.

Excellent Stay!

great recommendation excellent location unrestricted parking
Wendy was very helpful. She provided great recommendations for local spots that I checked out and enjoyed. The location is excellent. It's close to the seafront, and I found unrestricted on-street parking right in front.
I think more hanging space would be beneficial. I also noticed plastic window sills. The room felt a bit drab.
