surprisingly good stay

short walksuper comfy bedsbathroom miniatures
the location is a very short walk to the beach. various restaurants and pubs are also nearby. the room had a sea view, tea and coffee facilities, a tv, and a fridge. i found bathroom miniatures, which i did not expect. everything was clean, and the beds were super comfy.
the rooms do not feel very much like hotel rooms, the noise level could be higher, and the state of the toilet is not optimal.

The location is great. It is literally a two minute walk from the beach. there are also a number of places to eat and pubs close by (i liked the korean restaurant nearby). our room had a sea view, towels rolled on the bed, and tea and coffee making facilities.
we booked into this place and looked at the photos. when we got there, we were put into one across the road. the room was very dated and smelled of bleach. i also noticed damp patches on the walls.

The location is amazing! It is a short walk from the beach, really great for me. Eating options and pubs are also close. I went to a great restaurant on the same road. My room included towels on the bed, facilities for making tea and coffee, a TV, and a fridge. Bathroom miniatures were also in the room. Parking at the hotel was indeed convenient!
The water pressure in the shower could have been better.
