Reviews and Ratings
The hotel boasts a very comfortable bed and an upstairs bathroom for storage. The location is in the lively Kemp Town area and still in view of the sea. The dining features Bernese sausages, and the facilities are remarkable.
The hotel is nestled in the lively Kemp Town area, just a stone's throw away from the sea. The rooms offer a very comfortable bed and a balcony, though there's no breakfast or extras provided. The service is top-notch, and the location provides a picturesque view of the sea. While dining is not included, the hotel offers light food options. The facilities are well-kept, making for a pleasant stay overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel because it has a great location near the sea and is surrounded by lively spots to explore. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but the dining experience left something to be desired with a limited menu. The service was good, and the facilities were well-maintained.
