Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guest And The City is ideally situated very close to the beach and central cafes and bars, making it easy to visit the city. The rooms, though compact, are generally considered clean and cosy, offering amenities like a fan, kettle, and even complimentary beer, which is a plus for many. While the location is amazing and the price affordable, some guests have noted that the noise from outside can be disturbing. The hotel provides convenient access and dark curtains, plus comfortable beds and tea/coffee for a pleasant stay.

unlocked door dirty bin

The front door was unlocked when I arrived. It was just on the latch. Anyone could have walked in. The window frames needed repainting and a good cleaning. The bin had old ash in it. I had to shut the window even though it was hot because of the loud music from a nearby bar.
