AVOID. Dirty. Mould.
Mould all over bathroom ceiling windows walls. Mould all over my window. States free parking but actually there is 3 tiny spaces which if more than one car so tight you can’t even get out or choice of paying for car park up steep hill unlit and not secure. I found owner wasn’t very friendly and they don’t clean your room daily and not any extras like toiletries etc. There is far better in this area without having to have a shared bathroom that’s dirty

A three night stay.
The room was too small for a double room. It required significant updating to bring up to a reasonable standard. The tiny shower room/toilet was in poor condition basically in need of replacement. Shower curtain was in need of a wash. The window sills needed a proper clean as like the window sills in the breakfast room. However the retired of age lady serving breakfast was lovely and couldn't do more for us. The breakfast was reasonable with plenty of choice. The hotel is in a great position just a few minutes walk to the Marina and shops. Try The 'Old Vienna' restaurant just a few minutes walk up the road,it was really good.
