The room was clean and looked pretty much like the photos online which was a pleasant surprise. Would only recommend a lick of paint on the outside to match the updated interior. Definitely stay here again due to the quality and price point.

Cracking place to stay and eat! V

Checked in here for 1 night and liked it so much, we booked for a 2nd night! Really fantastic hotel - decor in reception area lovely and bar and restaurant superb - especially roof top area! Great vibes. Food was awesome - we ate at their restaurant (Goldies) for both evenings! Can really recommend the steak but to be honest, everything that came out looked and smelt amazing! Staff went out of there way to chat to us and give us recommends on what to do / where to see etc. Location is ideal - one block back from the sea/beach but very central to everything and walkable to everywhere! Would highly recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay here again if we returned!

*Disappointing Stay – Poor Service and Hygiene Issues** I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was one of the most unpleasant experiences I’ve ever had. On the first night, I discovered a lizard in the bathroom. When I called the receptionist at 12 am for assistance, I was met with an unprofessional and unhelpful response. Instead of addressing the issue, he casually told me to take the lizard and throw it out of the balcony myself, offering no apology and claiming there was nothing he could do at that time. After a sleepless night, I complained the next morning and requested to be moved to another room, which the morning receptionist agreed to. However, the new room wasn’t much better – there were ants on the table for the entire week, and the issue was never addressed despite bringing it to their attention. The lack of cleanliness and the dismissive attitude of the staff ruined what should have been a relaxing holiday. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a comfortable and hygienic stay.
