Hotel is in a great location and you can easily walk to the beach or a selection of restaurants. Room size etc was ok. Air con could have been better. The whole property was tired and looked like it was struggling to survive financially. Pool was good even if small. although changing facilities were not so great and showers were not always hot. Not sure about the reception staff’s blue ties and scarfs looked like that came from a joke shop. Parking system never showed enough info like when did I next need to pay etc.

Not great

Firstly, when we checked in with the night staff and paid for the stay. The next day we were out. I got a call from the hotel that I had an outstanding room charge. I said I already paid which they checked and said it was a mistake on their end. Well, they did not hesitate to cancel my room card before confirming with the guest! - The room was way too small, as well as the bathrooms. Even though they offer different room types. We have a normal double room and the size of the room and bathroom is not acceptable. - The room quality is not great; walls need fresh paint, the carpet is so outdated and old, the doors are dirty and cheap and to get in the room they card system is very outdated and it makes it hard to get in the room when swiping the card. - The bathroom fan was not working and it was extremely small. It felt very suffocating. - Their indoor pool did not look clean. Also, it looks good on the pictures on the website. But it is very misleading. The indoor pool is so small! There was barely any ventilation and the lighting was not great. This made it difficult for guests to relax in the pool because it was full of children playing and shouting. While I don’t mind children in the pool playing. The indoor pool was just not big enough for both parties to enjoy the pool and there is not pool specifically for children as guests had to specifically sign a document to make sure they are being supervised. There is much to improve in this hotel which is the bare minimum.

The best breakfast I have ever had in a hotel - both choice and quality! The hotel was in a very good position for sightseeing. Only negative was the poor air-conditioning in my bedroom.

Nice stay

Did not have any food at the hotel. Beds were very comfortable, pillows were ok and the duvet was light, although the duvet cover was too big. Room was spacious with a sofa. Good air con in the room. The hotel was only 5 minutes walk to the beach. The down side was the car park as charges are too high at £15 per night, with no guarantee that if you leave your space there will be one available when you return. This let the hotel down as others in the area were only charging £8.

Basic hotel

I didn’t expect luxury for the price I paid, my priorities were a clean room, comfy bed and quiet. My room was clean, there were hangers in the wardrobe and fresh towels. The furniture had seen better days. There was no hairdryer in the room and my kettle didn’t work but these were replaced by staff. The air conditioner/heater was easy to operate. The bathroom was adequate and there was plenty of hot water, however, the bath was quite small and wouldn’t suit a larger person. The lift is very slow and hadn’t been adequately cleaned. The corners hadn’t seen a hoover for years.

Loved this hotel. The location was great. The price was good. The staff was friendly. And it was clean, they took care of us. I would 100% stay here again. I would say there should be some upgrades made to the tv to be bigger, a more comfortable mattress, and if there was a way to make the floors less squeaky that’d be great. But overall it was a great stay.

Parking is horrible in the streets, and the car park itself is small at £15 per day pricey. Walk to beach is why we stay here, staff are all young but very polite. Building was once grand, a little jaded now, but clean and tidy, we have been regulars for s verbal years now.

Nice stay for one night

We stayed only one night. As hotel very old it self. We were very surprised how nice room was. It was refurbished and so comfy. I think it's very important room condition. Lovely swimming pool area. Small but nice. English breakfast fully loaded that was nice. I stayed with kids and they were surprised - no pancakes. So even I payed for breakfast they had nothing to eat only toast and honey. No pastry like a croissants or similar. Location actually is absolutely perfect. Close to the beach, close to the pier. Hard to get parking and quiet expensive just on the street.

Enjoyable stay overall

Third floor room was very quiet and in a very good condition, albeit no view. A bit smallish for 2 people because of the eaves, reducing space. Air conditioning came handy in hot weather. Very friendly receptionist at check-in. Five minutes descend to the beach. Breakfast average, but watermelon and pineapple added value.
