“For a modest price, this hotel provides clean, generously sized rooms, some offering views of the iconic tower. Its proximity to the seafront and other attractions strikes a balance between convenience and value, particularly welcoming to those travelling with dogs. I noticed previous guests found the staff helpful and friendly, and were quick to solve a heating issue in one of the rooms.”
