Our verdict
Cloud 9 is a small, social alternative to Rising Cock with the same free nightly pub crawl, plus air conditioning in every room and a rooftop with sea views. The 18 to 45 age limit and the drinking-game nights make the crowd clear. Pick it if you want to go out but also want a cool room to sleep in.

- Solo travellers aged 18 to 45 who want to go out
