Stayed in a double room with ensuite and found both the bathroom and room very clean and comfortable. Great kitchen facilities and excellent location in walking distance of everything. Staff were also helpful on where to go and what to do. Would definitely stay again!

Pros: Friendly staff.
Cons: The property needs a refurbish.
The room was clean enough, what you'd expect from this type of accommodation but the bathroom was a let down. It is so pokey and narrow that it is almost non functional. The property needs a bit of TLC as it looks a little tired but overall, it's ok. The staff however are awesome. They were very friendly and made the stay more enjoyable.
