the staff were friendly. the location was convenient.
The room i booked. A small double rear view shower. Wasn't well maintained, i found mould in the bathroom, and the shower was not working properly. the room also had a very unpleasant smell, it was not a good experience. i was really disappointed with the state of the room, it needs some serious attention!

Fantastic Stay with Amazing Sea Views!

amazing sea view spacious room comfortable couch huge bed
I had such a great time here! The sea view was amazing. My room was spacious. It featured a lovely bow window with a comfy leather couch right in front. The bed was also huge.
I noticed that the communal areas felt a little dark. the layout of my bedroom was somewhat peculiar.
