The location was acceptable. It provided reasonable access to local amenities.

The room was quite disappointing. The photographs online did not accurately represent its actual state and size. The bathroom was particularly cramped. It was difficult to move freely. there was an unexpected cash deposit required upon arrival. This was not previously disclosed.

A good coastal getaway

pictured roomquick staffclose beachamazing cafe

The room was VERY nice, exactly as shown in the pictures. It was a romantic surprise. The staff responded quickly to my messages. I REALLY appreciated their help. It was very close to the beach, and there was a bus stop just outside. I found AMAZING cafes and restaurants nearby.

The check-in details arrived a little later than expected, though this was resolved promptly.

Facilities

8/10

The room had all necessary facilities, including a kettle and television. This provided convenience. I noticed the secure entrance system used a door code, a measure that added to my sense of safety. The building seemed well-kept.

Dining

9/10

There are many cafes and restaurants close by. This offers a lot of dining options. I saw breakfast was available at an additional cost. This is convenient wanting a quick meal. Several pubs are also close.

Location

10/10

The location is AMAZING, a five-minute walk to the beach. A bus stop right outside provides easy access to town. A 24-hour shop is also nearby. This makes late-night necessities accessible. This is very central.

Service

9/10

The staff was VERY helpful. They responded quickly to messages. I found them accommodating when I needed assistance. They maintained a clean and tidy environment. This added to the overall comfort of my stay.
