This is a very basic budget hotel, only thing that was a challenge was the small staircase getting to the room on the 3rd floor, apart from that nice staff, clean rooms

Perfect for purpose.

Perfect for purpose, friendly receptionist. Clean and comfortable. Could do with black out blinds on sky window and staircase window. Fan was a saviour in the heat.

Disturbed sleep

The location is great. The insulation is very poor, i could hear the neighbours room the noise from the TV. The mattress is terrible, needs replacing as it was a little lumpy and bump so I couldn't get a good night's sleep for 3 days. The room was ok, the bathroom was very small just enough room for a shower and a toilet. It is walkable distance to the main historical area, the defence walls, the beautifu houses and the pubs on Spice Island so that was a bonus.
Marisa, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Time has run its due

It was clean and very nice service. But time has indeed run its course. Very small rooms and the pub has been closed for 3 years. With all that said it is value for money unless it is warm cause then you will be cooked.

6/10 Good

Basic room

A very average stay. Room is in an annexe behind the main hotel. Ground floor. Very noisy floorboards above. Room was small and a bit grubby. Ants in the kettle so didn’t bother with a cup of tea. Shower overflowed if used for more than a few minutes. Staff were charming. Pretty cheap for the area.

Ray, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We were in room 16 in the converted cottage at the back and it had low standard of construction, no sound proofing, and a low standard of cleaning, particularly in the shower room. Staff were very unhelpful on checkout as they refused point blank to interact with us. Gobsmacking!

The receptionist that checked us in was lovely and very helpful we needed phone chargers and she helped us no problem! Highly recommend!
