Cheap but cheerful
Comfy stay for a good price. A few notable things were that I did find a nail clipping on the carpet when we came into the room. Also, the pillow covers are of a cheaper material which means my face and ears got way hotter through the night than I would on cotton sheets. I liked the firmness of the mattress and the bathroom was spotless, although the tap placement was really awkward as you could not turn it to cold as it clashed with the sink.
Free breakfast was good, the croissants were dry but the warm breakfast elements were tasty and filling.

Average overnight trip
When we entered the room there was a double bed and a sofa bed which hadnt been made up. There were no extra sheets to make the sofa bed. We telephoned reception and explained and they made it up during the evening ( we had gone out) but on return we noticed there were only 2 towels for 4 of us. It was midnight and we didnt bother asking.

Great staff, good location
We arrived at 2 pm as our email prior to the stay stated this time for check in. However, the hotel only offer check in from 3 pm and our room was not ready. The reception staff member was very helpful and prioritised us so that we could Check in as soon as possible . All staff at the hotel were very friendly and kept the hotel clean and tidy. Great location by the water.

4/10 Fair
Nice hotel, clean and with polite staff, but if you list air conditioning among the amenities, it can’t just be a “cooling system” — and above all, if this is pointed out, you can’t simply say the technician won’t be able to come before tomorrow. The room was nice as well, but the fundamental duty of a hotel is to ensure a good night’s rest, and in this it failed because the room was too hot and the air conditioning (listed among the hotel’s amenities) was not actually there.
