Pros: I always like how close it is to the trainstation, Ferry and bus stop. Cons: It's not that I don't like the hotel but it could definitely do with an update

Overall clean and secure with helpful staff. The accom was good for the amount we paid

Pros: The location is great and pretty quiet on weekends as down the more business end of town so everything geared towards office workers in the area. Our room was clean and having the ensuite bathrooms was definitely a bonus for the price. Mattresses have definitely seen better years and you can feel the springs but overall was ok for good. Staff were really helpful too, especially when there was a muck up of our booking. Cons: We booked 4 rooms through booking.com 5mths prior but on arrival discovered they hadn’t actually been allocated so while they could see our booking when I gave them t

considering it was a backpackers I think they would appreciate a little fridge. 6 out of 10

Pros: Considering the size of the room the layout was good. Bathroom layout and shower good. Reasonably quiet considering its location good location Cons: Had powdered milk as no bar fridge. This could have been there in place of a single chair (3 beds) no sort of table. beds a little soft. Desk not manned and had to wait for attention after ringing a bell. We had some dirty towels that were in the room when we got there and needed clean ones
