Roomy & clean family room
We were in a family room which had a double bed & bunk beds and our own bathroom. Room was very clean. Had a message night before asking if we knew a rough time we would like to check in, this was a nice touch.

Great find!
The price attracted us and we didn't know what to expect. Staff were very helpful and the hotel had parking which was very helpful. Right near the beach. We will be back, a great find!

Very pleasant budget hotel. Parking was available but limited. Decent little hotel. A short walk to the scenic promenade. Emily on reception was brilliant and very helpful!
Only minor negative would be lack of blackout curtains.
Overall a great place to stay at a decent price!

This should not be classed as a hotel it was more like a hostel, the rooms had bunkbeds, the shower didn't work properly and the water pressure in the sink was non existent.

Lovely hotel would definitely return. Everything was clean and well looked after. The staff were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Close to Gunwharf shopping centre and right on the beachfront! Excellent stay :)

Wouldn't stay again
Tiny tiny room, barely 7ft x 7ft. No kettle in room. Had to go downstairs to shared kitchen area. No ensuite bathroom, again downstairs to toilet and shower room. They were very clean but with mobility issues it was hard work.
Parking is ltd to around 5 spaces then you pay for a pass to street park in surrounding streets. but again hard to find a space. Expensive for such a tiny room, door nearly touched the bed when you opened it.
