Pros: The location of the place is AMAZING, its right accross the beautiful ocean. Chill place! You could buy drinks and little things from the hotel and there was a section "to share" in the kitchen, so its good for us pilgrims. The girl at the reception was very nice and helpful.

Cons: Not enough space in the bedroom. Too many bunk beds crammed into a little room made it quite awkward to move around and pack your bags in morning. The bathroom was not the cleanest of all and the building itself clearly has seen better days.

7.0 Good

Cons: I was moved to a two person room, where there was no WiFi. Also there was only one key, to be shared with a stranger, so I felt the security was lacking

Cons: Shower and toilet together was very small

7.5 Good

8.0 Excellent

Pros: Location was superb

Cons: The rooms are very small and they have 6 beds in a small room. The room has just a division to the girls dormitory so it is 12 people kinda sleeping in the 1 room and gets VERY stuffy. You are an arms reach to the person in the other bed.

10.0 Excellent

Pros: We had a private room with our own balcony and beach view. The kitchen was spacious and clean. The bedroom and bathroom were also large and clean.

9.5 Excellent

Pros: It was very nice and clean. The bed was big and comfy. There is a heater in the room. There is also a fridge but there is no socket for it. The view on the sea was very nice to have:)

Cons: It was very noisy on Saturday night. Till around 2 am. As the window is facing the embankment-the main vein of the city.

5.5 Okay

Pros: Great location within sight of the ocean, multiple cafes and restaurants in the area. Room is directly above a restaurant.

Cons: Hot room, no air conditioner, one window, very noisy area in the evening, especially on weekend nights. Hard to get to sleep until midnight when places are mostly closed. No microwave, no coffeemaker. Small fridge. Very hard to find parking during the weekend in summer.

Cons: The Wifi was useless.

10.0 Excellent

Pros: Highly recommended!

3.3 Mediocre

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The room was shocking - no window, damp and smelly. I would recommend this room never to be advertised again. Health and Safety Authority should be called and room closed as it was disgraceful.

8.0 Excellent

Pros: Nice view from the window.

7.5 Good

Pros: Location and sea view.

Cons: Dog barking at 6am.

8.8 Excellent

Pros: Well situated

Cons: The bathroom was very small and shower leaked, shower curtain torn and very neglected. Restaurant downstairs served good food.

8.8 Excellent

Pros: excellently positioned with sea views from most of the rooms. Nothing fancy but clean, comfortable, excellent value and “as per description.

Cons: The handheld showers were a bit of an operational nightmare, resulting in minor flooding for a couple of us. We found and temporarily removed the horrible plastic based mattress protectors (which should be replaced by cotton ones). Late evening noise from the proprietor’s restaurant below (which we did not eat at but looked excellent) might be an issue but as we stayed overnight on a Sunday it was closed then, but the Sunday lunch crowd were happy and noisy.

6.3 Good

Pros: Pilgrims are always happy to find a bed. Hostess was very welcoming and spoke good English. Otherwise we observed that the rooms and bathrooms were quite small. The usual retrofit in old buildings when a bathroom is added. Some noisy residents. Doors make a lot of noise. Electrical failure in the evening. Host had gone by that time. When we got back from dinner lights were working again. All in all okay.
