convenient location connected tv air conditioning small room room column minimal soundproofing

The location was very convenient, especially with bus stops and shops nearby. A short walk got me to the beach. The tv in my room was a nice bonus. AC was included. This was helpful given the warm weather.

The room was quite small, lacking bedside tables. A column was located right in the MIDDLE of the room. I could hear noises at night, so soundproofing seems minimal.

luggage storage friendly welcome

the family ensuite room had ample space for luggage storage. i found a mini fridge in the room quite useful for keeping drinks cold. the staff offered a friendly welcome and provided quick assistance with directions to nearby attractions. the value for money was really good given the amenities and location.

The television required logging into streaming services. There were no standard channels available.

a decent stay

helpful staff fresh sheets modern bathroom missing bedside table stark lighting poor soundproofing

the staff was helpful and keen to assist (which i always appreciate). the rooms had fresh paint and new carpets, a definite plus. i also liked the modern bathroom and fresh sheets.

The room i was in had no bedside tables, a design oversight. the room was very white with spotlights and no dimmer, feel stark. i could hear noises at night. The soundproofing wasn't great.
