Conveniently located with excellent Wi-Fi, Sandras Backpackers provided us with a comfortable stay. The staff was prompt and friendly, helping us with our check-in and providing secure storage for our bikes. The included breakfast was a nice touch, and we were able to dry our clothes in their drying room after a rainy day. Despite some noisy football fans outside our window, we had a pleasant and enjoyable stay. I would recommend this hostel.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, giving me lots of useful information about nearby restaurants and shops. The location was perfect, being close to both the train station and the coast. The room was basic but clean, and the en suite bathroom was also very clean. Though the shower lacked power, the water was hot and there were plenty of bath towels provided. The communal kitchen was lovely, with all the necessary equipment and clean crockery and cutlery. The breakfast provided was delicious, and the person who prepared it was really nice.

For the price I paid, this hotel exceeded my expectations. The only minor issues I encountered were with the small fridge in the kitchen, which had some ice forming in the freezer compartment and was stained inside.

Excellent customer service, friendly staff, comfortable rooms, proper gluten-free and dairy-free breakfast, nice atmosphere.

Nothing, all excellent.

That we weren't able to secure a twin room. Unfortunately, we waited too long to book and had to settle for a room with a bunk bed, which made us feel a bit claustrophobic.

The room was impeccably clean and the bed was so comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The communal area was spacious and well-organized, with plenty of room to prepare meals and enjoy them.
