Stayed here with 3 friends all girls in the non-sea view 4 person apartment- 2 single beds in the bedroom and pull out sofa beds in kitchen area which were all comfy. We arrived very late at night and departed early morning, however there was a 24 hour reception so no problem. There was some outdoor noise from people walking past at night, but that’s expected being so close to the strip and I thought the rooms did block out some noise. The apartment was clean and just like photos, very good location by being very close to the beach, strip and supermarkets. Our room was on the bottom floor so not much privacy with people walking past when on the terrace as was by the road and we didn’t have outdoor furniture like some other rooms but could take the kitchen stools outside. We had our 100 euro deposit returned no problem, and receptionists were all friendly, one lady offered us chocolates each. We were given fresh towels and toilet roll on our second day. Although in a busy location, the apartment felt safe at night for us. We didn’t use the breakfast or pool facilities during our stay but the pool area looked clean as we walked past. The room was provided with shower gel, hand wash, washing up liquid, a sponge, cloth and suitable Tupperware and utensils. Overall, I would be happy to stay here again for its great location and clean facilities, good value for money.

“Perfect base”

A great location, very steep hill but 2 minutes walk to beach and beachfront restaurants and a 2 minute walk to the strip Quieter restaurants further down the beach Great place for people looking for a great night out Take a tuktuk into the old town beauty and a brilliant vibe Initially had a room to the back of the hotel which wasn’t a room we had booked through travelodeal, we had booked a sea view but hotel didn’t get that booking, the first night was awful, next door were shouting and singing until 4 in the morning, when we got up there was quite a mess outside our door from next doors party When we reported to reception the manager was extremely helpful, managed to move us to a sea view room top floor out of the way of noise levels, we slept like babies!! Both rooms were clean on arrival Didn’t use the pool or the breakfast facilities £100 deposit each, we followed the instructions in the room for check out, all linen and towels in washing basket and emptied the bins, no problems getting the deposit back We paid for a mystery holiday on Wowcher, we then paid extra for a certain type of room using travelodeal Would not recommend using them, complete cock up from start to finish, initially booked us nowhere near where we wanted to be and then kept adding more charges, an issue we will take up with the company

“Basic but ok as a base to rest your head”

I think your opinion of this place depends very heavily on expectations, mine were low so I wasn’t in any way disappointed and would consider my experience to be a positive one.

I think your opinion of this place depends very heavily on expectations, mine were low so I wasn’t in any way disappointed and would consider my experience to be a positive one. I was in town for a few days in a stag weekend so I basically just needed somewhere to rest my head. I had a studio apartment which consisted of a single bed (disguised as a sofa upon arrival) and another single bed stored underneath. It appeared to be made up, but I didn’t use it. The mattress wasn’t the best, but the room was clean, air conditioned and I was on the top floor so it was relatively quiet. Bathroom was small but had everything that I needed and I even had a small balcony with a view of the sea (I never actually went onto it, but it was nice to have it there) Location was good, but this again would depend on where you want to be. There is a 1min walk downhill to the beach with a bar / restaurant, and in the other direction you’re probably a five-ten min walk to one of the main nightlife areas, so plenty of food and drink options within easy reach and there always seemed to be plenty of tuk tuks close by if you didn’t fancy walking. All in all, I have no complaints but I would proceed with caution. It appeared to mainly be used by younger people on party holidays, but depending on your needs and budget, it could be all you need.
