balcony looking out over town and ocean. some aspects need renovating, but overall not bad. Love the originality of the elevator. the staff, including cleaning ladies, are fabulous. can't say enough about them all. made us feel like family we stayed for 2 weeks and don't regret it at all. we are older so we had to rent a car. the hotel sits atop a high slope to ocean and the walking up and down hills and stairs can be a bit too much, but that is not the hotel, just the area. we would stay again.

A pleasant surprise!
We planned a last minute trip for 3 nights and wanted to keep the budget down (which the hotel certainly did!) with that in mind, I was really dubious as it wasn’t the usual type of hotel we would book!! We were more than pleasantly surprised! Yes, the decor was dated and could do with a major overhaul but the hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were really helpful and friendly and……the views we were in room 404, which had a balcony overlooking the town/beach and was great to watch the sunrise. I used the pool area for a couple of hours each day, and was usually the only person there so it was lovely and peaceful! All in all, although I would never have usually booked a hotel like this, I did fall in love with it a little bit!

Low cost and handy for old town
Have stayed here a few times with no issues. It is a cost friendly handy little place. Rooms have fridges and beds are comfy. Only complaints would be that when I arrived this time the fridge had been defrosted and water was all over the floor, and the receptionist was sick and I got a bad case of covid days later :( Simple things which could be avoided by common sense/better staff decisions.

We did read other reviews, but weren't too concerned as all we wanted was a clean bed to sleep in at night... Unfortunately though, I think the cons did outweigh the pros here. PROS *The staff, with the exception of the breakfast room staff, were very attentive. *Shower over bath was fab. *Room was clean & serviced daily. *Breakfast, although many cons (see below), did have nice cheese and ham, and bread rolls. Bacon was lovely. Some days they had nice cake. CONS *We had no balcony. Some of our party complained about their room being smelly and were given a room with a balcony. We stayed in our room. *Bathroom sink didn't drain properly and kept filling up (room 403). *Pool tiles could've done with a thorough clean. Water itself was great. *Pool area has nothing else except sun loungers and the pool. Nothing handy to get a snack or a drink. *There is a bar by reception, but very small and not well stocked. Bottle of water very expensive. No food available, only crisps. *Breakfast was a real disappointment. Out of date yoghurt, no milk on one day and not even an apology, coffee machine coffee horrible. Scrambled eggs looked like they were a day old.

4/10 Fair

Advertised as having wifi and air conditioning, it does not. Very outdated and uncomfortable beds. Staff were great and welcoming, however the hotel stay was uncomfortable. Will not be coming back, especially for the price we paid for the rooms.

OK
Basic hotel, in need of a bit of tlc, location not great (for an oldie) due to steep hills to climb.
