We had been to a do and needed an overnight stay and it was good value for money! We would stay here again
Pros:

Location was great central to town walking distance to shops winter gardens tower and seafront

Cons:

Nothing not to like, although it’s not been that warm for May, it did feel a bit cold in the bedroom we mentioned this and Connor explained reason, possibly could do with an extra blanket though, as I did feel cold at night to be honest!
That’s just me But bed was comfy and the hot shower made up for it!
Connor made us welcome on arrival and a pleasant young man driven to making a good business with good facilities, as work in process, love his fresh ideas for his up and coming business! Clean and tidy and loved the idea of coffee machine downstairs!

Perfect.
Pros:

Connor (the owner) is a great guy and went above and beyond to be the best host he could be. each room i have stayed in so far has been perfect and I am surprised that it is this cheap considering the amount of effort that has gone into the hotel. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable reliable hotel.

Cons:
