Für LowBudgetTraveller und Unkomplizierte!
Pros:

Die Lage ist perfekt.
Es war toll eine geordnete Gemeinschaftsküche und einen Essraum zu haben. Das spart Geld.
Die Bäder waren modernisiert und sauber!

Cons:

Der Teppich war sehr alt und fleckig.
Die Betten waren nicht mehr die Besten. Es ging noch.

Pros:

Great stay overall — the hotel was spotless, both in the room and in the shared bathroom, with no mold anywhere. The room had a fresh renovation, clean bedding, and snow-white towels. There was a kettle with tea, coffee, milk, and sugar provided, plus a fan in the room. The location was fantastic — right on the waterfront in the center, with everything close by. Late check-in and early check-out were handled smoothly, no issues at all. Really enjoyed my stay and happily recommend this place!

Cons:

Everything was great.

A pleasant room with a lovely view
Pros:

A pleasant single room with ensuite shower room. I had expected it would be noisy, being above a pub and right on the seafront, but actually, once the pub closed there was no further disturbance and I had a comfortable night's sleep. Gorgeous view!
