Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located near Sandown Beach, just a 3-minute walk away, making it convenient for beach lovers. The rooms have old features but are comfortable, although the squeakiest bunk beds might disrupt your sleep. The service includes options for car hire and efficient housekeeping services, adding to the overall convenience. However, the dining options, especially for vegetarian dishes, could be improved to cater to varied tastes.
This hotel is super convenient, being close to the beach and shops, but the bunk beds in the twin rooms were so squeaky that I couldn't get much sleep despite the comfortable beds. The service was great, especially in terms of car hire and housekeeping, making my stay hassle-free.
The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and a bus stop, making it easy to explore local tourist spots. The rooms have old features but are surprisingly comfortable with good beds, although the bunk beds were notably squeaky, affecting my sleep. The service, including car hire and housekeeping, was satisfactory. The dining experience, while lacking specific details, offered decent nibbles.
