Cheap, convenient and central for 1 night stay when everything else is booked, Room was clean but the air-conditioning, TV and fridge were not working. Looks like it is hosted by young back packers and Saturday nights are a bit rowdy....

Reception was closed for lunch without a time when they would return (which was 2pm), then a further wait for her to check the room. Drinking glasses were dirty (lipstick marks), the wifi password was not given and when asked, I was told that the sign was "definitely in the room" - which it wasnt. Police banged on our door at 11pm to ask about a disturbance downstairs.

PERFECT LOCATION ON THE STRAND. STUDIO APARTMENT WAS VERY OVERPRICED FOR WHAT WE GOT. CUTLERY AND CROCKERY WAS INSUFFICIENT FOR TWO PEOPLE. MICROWAVE NEXT TO THE SINK, VERY UNSAFE. BINS HAD NOT BEEN EMPTIED FROM PREVIOUS TENANTS. NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE MICROWAVE AND TV. WE WERE DESPERATE WITH ONLY TWO PROPERTIES AVAILABLE ON DAYS WE NEEDED.
