Couldn't ask for more, booked in advance so got amazing prices, after reading some reviews on here I was beginning to think it might be a mistake, but no it's excellent city centre very close just over footbridge and the bay just a stroll in opposite direction, beds excellent, but then I like a nice firm non saggy bed myself....

I stayed here on the 12th may 2012 for my birthday with 5 of my friends. Rooms are small and basic but you get what you pay for. Rooms were clean but I would advise to take an extension lead as the plugs are away from the mirrors. The bed was pretty uncomfy and solid but to be honest we... More

Worst hotel experience ever. Room was cramped, nowhere to dry after a shower unless you step out into the actual bedroom. Tv in a totally stupid position. Breakfast cheap and nasty. Small cramped seating area, shared breakfast room with "local builders workforce" nice men but very rowdy, basically shouted across tables to each other throughout breakfast. Corridors smelled horrible. On... More
