a fine stay close to everything

friendly staff clean room perfect location
the staff were very friendly. my room was very clean and the bed was comfy. the location was indeed perfect (i went to the beach every day!). the facilities were also great, and the bedroom window offered a nice view.
I think one of the sinks in my room was a bit blocked. It needs some attention.

convenient location

ideal location clean room comfortable bed
The location was ideal for the o2 academy nearby. i managed to park right outside, a real plus. the room was clean and the bed, quite comfortable. I appreciated that.
the towels were small and black, stained with bleach. it felt more like a boarding house because there was no staff to ask for an extra pillow or blanket after a certain time, inconvenient.

simple pleasure

fresh tea quiet garden
the staff remained ever so attentive, ALWAYS making sure i had fresh tea. toast in the morning, it was a good touch. i particularly loved the garden, a true haven, perfect for a quiet moment with a glass of wine as the SUN set.
The shared toilet lacked separation, a little awkward. it could benefit from some improvements. the limited parking became a concern. Only a few spaces existed.

my double room it was a haven with sunlight. it featured many windows that bathed everything in soft light, and multiple outlets helped keep all devices charged so that I don't feel overwhelmed.
