    Good place for short stay. Clean rooms, communal kitchen, parking available. Bit difficult to navigate for first time as Google shows a one-way street. Value for money.

    Location not the best but it serves as good accommodation for a few nights stay and exploration of the local area if you like to walk.

    Everything you need for a cheap vacation great having shared kitchen facilities that i was unaware off until arrival.

    It seems they are understaffed. The receptionist was asleep when I arrived in the afternoon. Extremely difficult to find the parking spot for your car as the google maps will lead you into the one way street. A bit noisy since its close to a roundabout.

    Just an everage little hotel with a communal kitchen anf the terrace.

    The town is a bit grubby, like other reviews have mentioned - pretty noisy outside - which isn't a problem. I was there during the election period so more a case of bad timing.

    Large room, spacious, very good value for money. Staff were very nice and friendly too.

    It was quite noisy during the night. You could here the dogs barking on the street all the time but thats not the owners fault of course.

    The room was clean and very spacious. We had a lot of space, a big bathroom with hot water and the best beds on the island ;-) they also have a nice terrasse with Oceanview and the Breakfast looked really nice (have to pay extra). The staff was also really nice and helpful and gave us recommendation for trips and the restaurants in the area.

    There was no hairdryer in the apartment and very little in terms of cutlery and plates although we discovered we could use those in the communal kitchen on another floor. It was quite a walk to the beach.

    The SM lodge was spacious and comfortable. It was basically a huge room with a bathroom attached. It had a great communal balcony in front of the room and delicious street food directly opposite. Beds really comfortable and it was very clean.
