Tiny.

£95 for a tiny room ok it was a Saturday night but I would have been disappointed to pay £30. So small I could touch both walls with my arms outstretched. Shower and toilet room was tint as well. Not really a hotel more a place with rooms. Good location and staff were nice but could not recommend.

Small stuffy rooms with no A/C and the owner can't spring for even a moderate fan. The bathroom and shower are shared. The owner can't spring to even fix the shower head which becomes a factor when one is trying to be as quick as possible in a bathroom shared with guests from 5 other rooms. Spend 20 pounds and fix the shower at least.

Perfect for purpose.

Perfect for purpose, friendly receptionist. Clean and comfortable. Could do with black out blinds on sky window and staircase window. Fan was a saviour in the heat.

Disturbed sleep

The location is great. The insulation is very poor, i could hear the neighbours room the noise from the TV. The mattress is terrible, needs replacing as it was a little lumpy and bump so I couldn't get a good night's sleep for 3 days. The room was ok, the bathroom was very small just enough room for a shower and a toilet. It is walkable distance to the main historical area, the defence walls, the beautifu houses and the pubs on Spice Island so that was a bonus.

This is a very basic budget hotel, only thing that was a challenge was the small staircase getting to the room on the 3rd floor, apart from that nice staff, clean rooms

Basic room

A very average stay. Room is in an annexe behind the main hotel. Ground floor. Very noisy floorboards above. Room was small and a bit grubby. Ants in the kettle so didn’t bother with a cup of tea. Shower overflowed if used for more than a few minutes. Staff were charming. Pretty cheap for the area.

We were in room 16 in the converted cottage at the back and it had low standard of construction, no sound proofing, and a low standard of cleaning, particularly in the shower room. Staff were very unhelpful on checkout as they refused point blank to interact with us. Gobsmacking!
