The positive thing about this accommodation is that it is very close to the beach, and the second is the cleanliness of the room. I got a double room which only had one double bed and it was not suitable for two people. And it had a very small window. There was no any fridge. I felt like I was in a prison and I was trying to get out. And because it was located on the main street, it was very crowded and noisy and I couldn't sleep at night.

This is the best place to stay for people with a lower budget. We booked a room with a private bathroom. It’s in the city centre/next to the beach and the pier! The facilities could use some TLC but it’s not that bad. Would definitely come back here again. Thank you!

Shocking, don’t stay if you want to sleep. Also you have to pay for a towel.

Great hostel! I really love the lounge area! It was chill and quiet and had a wonderful coffee shop vibe. I enjoyed my stay; everything was great. The internet was a bit unsteady on the upper floors, but other than that, I'd stay again for sure.

0 facilities, blood stained curtains, £2.50 towel.
Never given a hotel 1 star till today. : Understand it's a hostel, but booked a private room would atleast expect towels (£2.50 each to borrow) to be free, never in my life had to pay for them anywhere I stayed before. No basics such as hairdryer, shampoo, soap, kettle/drink facilities ect. Really is the bare minimum you get. For a. 4 star accommodation it doesn't add up. Inside Curtains could easily be cleaned but covered in blood or something aswell. Disgusting!! Bit more effort to clean wouldn't have gone a miss Weird that they have a wonderful done up bathroom but still charge for towels. Room was spacious & perfect location decent view atleast.

1 night stay,for football.
was a little disappointed to be honest,the bed was comfortable enough,strangely placed right in front of a large window,meaning i had to have the curtains closed,even in daylight,strange too that the tv was positioned behind the head of the bed,meaning i had to stand to view it.i did not have the tv on for long though,as the lack of signal meant having it on was for the most part,a waste of time.there was no kettle in my room,and in the bathroom,i had a bath,but no shower,this strangely,was right in front of the window too.for the £130 i paid for the night,i would've expected towels to be supplied for free,but,no,(good job i brought my own)these were for hire! staff were very nice and helpful,and i slept very well,however,i certainly couldn't describe my stay as value for money,so,therefor,wouldn't be staying here again.
