Very nice hotel, needs looking after more to continue the wonderful decor and ambience. Our room was nice, few concerns with unwashed glassed left in our room, tv wasn't working but was fixed once we raised it. Bed throw was dirty. But otherwise, comfortable nights sleep. Good bed and cosey room. Close to the beach. Lovely pool area outside. Spa is decent for hotel stay too.

I booked an annexe room and upon arrival was escorted through out of the main hotel, through the car park to the room. I expressed my discomfort at staying here alone as I didn’t feel safe. As the hotel was fully booked I couldn’t move room. I was really disappointed by this as there were still a room available on the website at the time. I didn’t sleep well as the entrance was onto the car park. The room itself was very clean and had a comfortable king bed. I found the staff friendly but the food was very average and overpriced. The pool area was busy as the weather was lovely during my visit, beds were reserved by 9:30 each morning. Overall, when comparing the room price, which didn’t even include breakfast, I don’t think I would visit again. Had the location of the annexe been accurately described I wouldn’t have booked such room and maybe had a better experience

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 days at the NICI. Our bedroom was beautiful , with soft and comfortable linen, the shower was scary , it was slippy and felt like I was drowning . The hand held shower took a life on its own, and reared up and wet me and the bathroom .the shower gels were empty. We went to the Spa and used the jacuzzi , when we turned it on the jets erupted like a volcano , the water pressure was too high. we laughed so much , it was like being on a rollacoaster.The dining area was beautiful , looking out at the pool , but we ordered a vegan diet but very little she could eat . the staff also did not know very much and half of the food on the menu was not available. the staff were very nice . The management was poor . The invoice we received at the end of our visit was ridiculous . We were late for our spa treatment trying to sort it out and missed 20 minutes of out massage and facial. A refund would be a good jester. The staff were really nice , trying to do their best.

This is our third stay here. We do love it but I still think there are things that could be improved. For the price, nothing should be too much trouble. We stayed in 2 x garden suites with 4 adults and 2 children. Rooms were lovely, although there was a broken leg on one chest of drawers which could be a hazard. Lovely bathrooms, plenty of towels and robes and the free rum is a nice touch. Things that let us down a little was the service around the pool - if they could offer drinks service or even QR codes for self ordering that would make it better. The service at old Harry rocks bar during the day is very slow. We also phoned reception a few times for little things, that either weren’t delivered or we just simply couldn’t get hold of anyone. Generally staff are friendly and accommodating. Spa area is lovely and not too busy - however every time I have been there is always people speaking on their phones, which ruins the relaxing experience. Perhaps there could be signs up about this?

Beautiful hotel, very clean, with a modern-kitsch feel. Very cool! However as it’s an old building that’s been gutted and redesigned, there are quite severe noise problems. You will hear your upstairs neighbours every footstep through the ceiling, and the room doors are not sound proofed. The doors are also not on slow hinges at the top, so doors slam which you will hear whether it’s your neighbour next door or down the corridor. This was reported to the front desk who told me there is ‘nothing they can do’. There is one lift for the whole hotel which is also very old and tiny, you can get a maximum of two people in it! Aside from that is a beautiful hotel, food is good, bar is a great vibe and the staff are friendly.
