Many reviews highlight good value for money and a convenient location near the harbour and town, though the walk is uphill.

I liked the quiet around the hotel and the friendliness of the staff. The facilities are existing like a kitchen and a washing machine. The problem is walking a quite steep hill to reach the hotel.

Unfortunately the Hotel is situated uphill and it took me at least 20minutes to get to the harbour on foot, no local buses and I had to get Taxis back to hotel. Also which is not advertised, no alcohol to be consumed on premises.

Was initially unable to get in as no one answered the door. Room was dominated by the bed which was to large for the room. Bed was set up in the corner which is not convenient for 70 year olds. These problems aside it was ok for the money. Altercation in the car park on the first night between a drunk couple which got violent a Was also off putting.

As much as I could interact with staff, they were polite and nice. However, the service provided by the hotel was barely there. For a 5 night stay, our room was not serviced not even once. The room itself, seemed more of a twin room that had another single bed added to accomodate 3 single beds. The furniture in the room was very poor, the one table present, and extendable one, was damaged. Carpet in the bedroom was very dirty with spillage marks all over around. I would not use the hotel ever again.

Will not return under any circumstances and would not recommend. This is more like a hostel than a hotel as there is nobody on site after about 11 pm

I liked that it was not far from the beach and the center with shops - at least that's what I paid for. I didn't like the sheets with yellow spots and not ironed , the same bed with yellow spots and especially the smell of mold in the furniture and in the room. And even though it is written at the reception and on the room door that the check-in and check-out times were at 11 am, I received a message the day before the end of my stay that I had to check out the room at 8 am - I had to to contact and tell me that it was actually a mistake.

Stay well clear of this place! Its not a hotel its a dirty hostel at best, no staff! Was shown to room by handyman. Kept up all night but the owners and a few people in the room above us, dirty disgusting noises all night till 9am plus loud talking and slamming doors literally all night! Hanging out the windows smokin and loud without a care for anyone. I had a 12 yr old with me so ended up 260 out of pocket as i had to book a new hotel! Disgusting place.. needs closing down!

The 'hotel' is a converted old house, divided into many rooms. Mine was just about adequate for one person in terms of size. There were only three coat hangers in the 'wardrobe', one of which was wire! The shower/toilet was minute, it would almost have been possible to wash your hands whilst seated! There was no food available on site. An acceptable place to sleep but not much more.

Stayed for 4 nights with my son, all we wanted was a room to stay in and relax in in the evenings, and that's what we got. No complaints, the chap who welcomed us in on the first day was pleasant and friendly. If you want a no frills room to stay in then give this place a chance. Thumbs up from me 👍
