The property owner was super accommodating and gave me a free upgrade to a huge ensuite bedroom, much appreciated! It's quieter part of town, and still walkable to the beach, perfect!

Bit disappointed to be honest

The room bore no resemblance to the pictures on the booking site. It was clean but in a poor state of repair. One of the photos is of a pool table, which does not exist at the hotel. Other rooms in the hotel looked better to be fair. I experienced a friendly welcome on arrival.

There's better budget hotels.

As far as budget hotels there are definitely better ones.. We have up and went home and didnt spend the night. Some money needs to be invested in the place. FAULTS in the 1 room we stayed in Bedroom door wouldn't lock and as we was next to bathroom we had a drunk walk in to our room Smell of sewer in bedroom and a leak/drip on the floor Wallpaper peeling where previous leak has been botched with a random bit of plasterboard Crack in window Bedding was damp No heating despite being a very cold night Only parking available for 2 cars so had to pay for overnight parking (not the hotels fault but be aware you may have to pay for parking (1 mile down the road £8 for 24 hour parking) All in all the room was clean but definitely needs some TLC

Interesting

Booked this hotel as it was low cost for the one night but didn’t expect it to be such a sh*t hole. Turns out there’s 2 Driftwood hotels in the area which caused confusion. Got to our Driftwood hotel and was greeted by a woman from the neighbouring ‘hotel’ she let us in and showed us the Wi-Fi code and then left. Both doors for the rooms booked weren’t secure and could be VERY easily accessed. Thankfully we were staying with a trusted male friend but if we weren’t we wouldn’t have stayed overnight. Very noisy, rooms were appalling and rundown. Wi-Fi didn’t work and the bathrooms were a state. No soap in the bathroom or working water in the sinks. Please do yourself a favour and don’t book.

Very disappointed

Absolutely shocking place to stay definitely not is advertised on any of the pictures. Drawers broken, tobacco in the top draw, stains on the floor and no milk for refreshments in the morning. Think money spent on soap and shower gel more than on the room. Small, dinghy and no room. I know it was advertised as a budget room but I'm sure the homeless on the streets had better accomodation. Ended up moving after 1 night and paying for another room in a other hotel.

Really bad. Won’t be staying here again

Staff were friendly but beds hard as anything, couldn’t have food or drink in the place and there’s no bar when they said we have to purchase stuff in the bar. Hardly any plug sockets. Shower broken. We had no towels. Noise in the morning and forced to check out at 11am leaving us with nowhere to go for the day.

Wouldn't stay again

Porter seemed drunk, given wrong room, given bunk beds instead of two single beds, decor indescribable, rough bed sheets and pillow cases TV remote didn't work very well, alright if you was out on the piss but not for a family.
