My room (no 3) had been totally renovated and was spotlessly clean. The evening meal at the hotel restaurant was also very satisfactory and good value for money. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be staying there again and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Clean and comfortable, it made us feel at home even if only for one night. Many thanks to the gentleman at the reception who, despite being tired, kindly waited for us until the very last moment late at night to check us in.

The hotel is dated but the staff were friendly on arrival and during breakfast. The room was clean, just dated. Bed a bit soft but difficult to please everyone. Great location and a short walk to the beach. Breakfast was adequate and the lady who served us was super helpful as we had a young child with us.

I stayed two nights and can’t complain about anything. I knew it was a low budget hotel and couldn’t expect luxuries. However, it was clean, nice bedding, my room was very quiet. Decent shower. I didn’t need anything more than this. A very special shout out to all members of staff who serve breakfast. They are very friendly, and work tirelessly. I’ve never been served so quickly anywhere else! Sadly I don’t know the names, but there is a fantastic lady who worked this weekend and a young man as well. Thank you!! One more thing, the coffee is really nice as well as the full English breakfast.
