On site bar and kitchen

They have an on site bar and kitchen for surprisingly fair prices. They even deliver the food to your room once it's ready. Bed was comfy enough, I guess that's the main thing you look for in a hotel 😂

Great Value. Superb Hosts!

For what it cost this place is great value and the owner could not have been more hospitable & helpful. The rooms were basic but clean and comfortable We stayed there as a band who were performing at The Winter Gardens and this was justa short walk. Plus the bar was open until 3am so we made the most of it.

Great budget hotel

A great budget hotel. I just wanted a bed for the night after a gig and this was spot on. The room was clean and comfortable. There is a well stocked bar area and another room with a pool table and games machines. Breakfast is only available Saturday, Sunday and school holidays but there are cafes at the end of the street. The lady who checked me in was lovely. I would definitely stay again if I'm in town for a gig.
