It was fantastic 1 day, would stay here again. Enjoyed an electric kettle, central heating, and an iron in the room. It included a lovely bed and a shared bathroom. The location was amazing, close to bars as well as the town centre and the beach. Plus, Stockbridge Market was around 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel.

I got the twin room, it was impressive and fantastic. The view from the window was lovely. The hotel was set in a central area very close to bars and restaurants, the famous coral island and all the various eateries and the beach and the shops. Btw, it was not too far away from National Football Museum.
The bathroom was quite small, I didn't like it.

Low-budget hotel in a quiet area just next door to town centre and main bus terminal, the famous coral island and all the various eateries, restaurants.
