Acceptable Hotel Stay

short walksea viewlovely gardenworn out mattressidentical roomdifferent rate
The location is great with a short walk to pubs. Sea views were very amazing from the room. I enjoyed the shared areas for sitting and watching TV. The garden was also lovely, I must say.
I booked three single rooms, and one had a worn out mattress. It was a very hard mattress. The three rooms were practically identical, but I was charged three different rates. It didn't make any sense.

A Good Stay with Character

great furnitureharbour viewshort walksteep stairs
The room had great furniture and the overall look was very pleasing. I especially liked being right overlooking the harbour. A fantastic Thai restaurant was only a short walk away, about 50 yards! The electrics all worked well. I easily connected to the WiFi and TV.
The stairs to the upper floors were quite steep. I found it a little difficult to manage with my luggage.
Facilities

The hotel featured comfortable lounges with complimentary tea and coffee available 24/7. That was SO NICE. I also appreciated the lovely little courtyard at the backwith extra seating to use.

The location was fabulous with a short walk to restaurants and pubs. The sea view was AMAZING!!! It was a real bonus to have a balcony room where I could fully enjoy the location and take in the area.
