Not impressed

Old, worn-out with a really low-budget feel to ir. Our barhroom was uninviting with a dripping faucet

10/10 Exceptional

Shower had been broken and you couldn’t put the shower head in any holder as this was missing and chair in bathroom was also broken and dangerous to try and use
Glynn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Incredibly noisy, otherwise decent hostel

Most things were as expected - low budget accommodation, good quality for price. What was unacceptable is the high noise by a group of kids. Late at night and early in the morning they were slamming doors, running around, yelling and banging at doors. The hostel should make the adults responsible for these kids aware that this is unacceptable for other guests. Due to, we barely got any shuteye which ruined an otherwise pleasant and very well located place.

2/10 Poor

The most depressing hotel I’ve ever stayed in! The room although big was as welcoming as a prison cell. No TV or pictures on the wall which were bland and dull as was the floor. A big shower and toilet room but 1 piece of soap 2” square and 1 sachet of shower gel. A 6€ breakfast didn’t include cheese or ham, just bread and jam, cereal and fruit and croissants. The hotel seems like it’s in a “Ghost Town”. Nothing around and quiet and dead. A TV in the lobby but not suitably located for guests to see. The place reminded me of a hospital, school or prison and getting breakfast there lining up was in keeping. The beach was about 200 metres away and some restaurants about a 10 minute walk away over a bridge. Check in at 5pm and out by 10am seemed strange but I’m pleased it was! Less time to spend there! I certainly won’t be returning there or recommending the place. It was just dull and boring and staff were conspicuous by their absence! No warmth or good feeling to the place. Sterile and clinical appear to be good words to sum it up. The room had a bed in the corner a wooden platform acting as a desk with a chair. The place is lifeless. A large car park though which was good. That’s about it!

4/10 Fair

Séjour un peu décevant par rapport à la propreté des sanitaires, une petite remise en état ne serait pas du luxe (chauffage rouillé, jet de la douche vraiment pas puissant, ménage limite). La fenêtre de la chambre qui se referme très mal, donc nous ne l'avons plus ouverte de peur qu'elle nous reste dans les mains, nous l'avons signalé à une dame qui nous a conseillé de taper dessus pour la fermer. Sinon pour le non wifi nous avons bien compris pourquoi il n'y en avait pas cela n'était pas un problème. Par contre nous avons passé 2 mauvaises nuits, dérangés par les portes des chambres qui claquent et les enfants qui jusqu'à plus de minuit courent et crient dans le couloir, souci remonté le matin et il nous a été indiqué qu'en effet le veilleur de nuit avait passé sa nuit à faire le calme. Concernant le personnel, nous n'avons absolument rien à redire, accueil sympathique.
