Very disappointed, I feel the issue is with Expedia and the way the room is sold, I booked a twin room that sleeps 3, the picture of this room "Standard Twin room" stated it slept 3 people and showed a sea view, when my wife and I arrived at the hotel to check in we were given room 126A which was an awful room, 2 single beds, definitely could not sleep 3 and was nothing more than a box room. nowhere near what the photo of the room portrayed. The picture supplied is of the room we upgraded to at an extra cost to me, we were told it was a triple view room, but wasn't made up, so I had to ask for new towels, mugs and bed linen, as the old bed linen from the previous occupants was still on the beds. The reason for wanting a twin room that slept 3 people, was for my wife who is recovering from major surgery.

The Ocean View's strongest features is its location, high above the beach but close to the lift. The downside is that it primarily caters to tour groups, leaving the solo traveler a bit confused at times.

I didn’t have a good experience. I was refused dinner by the lady at reception, who told me I was too late—even though her colleague had informed me at check-in that I could decide on dinner by 6 PM. I politely asked her to check with the restaurant to see if it was still possible to get any food, but she refused to do so. She also told me that breakfast was not available before 8 AM. However, when I came in the morning, another receptionist kindly helped me arrange breakfast before 8 AM with an organized group.

Friendly, professional staff team. Lovely big room with a balcony and view out to sea. Beds comfortable with clean fresh white linen. Superb shower. Breakfast service fast and food good . Overall a great place to stay. Room feels a little dated but does not effect the stay. Good indoor swimming pool For our stay there was a very annoying flashing street light immediately outside, this was no fault of the hotel as councils responsibility.

Lovely spot with sea view, rooms need updating, very tired. Bar not open when we were there and no entertainment offered. Nice swimming pool but such a long trek to it with lots of stairs not suitable for everyone. Otherwise as advertised.

A Nightmare Stay: Dirty, Noisy, and Uncomfortable

One of the bottom three worst places we have ever stayed. We booked two nights, in an ocean view family room, and the view is the only thing that can't be faulted. The moment you leave reception the tiredness of the hotel hits you, dirty carpets, 1970s decor, stair edging loose. Upon reaching the room, the handle half comes off in my hand. The room is two single beds either side of a double bed. One wall is old built in wardrobes with a bashed up desk in the middle, very 70s/80s. It's incredibly stuffy. Not paradise but we could live with this for 2 nights. But then night time .... The mattress' are covered with pebbles, so it would seem, not nice. The walls/ceilings/floors paper thin and we are kept awake by other occupant's late night drinking and other "night time activities". And it's still so stuffy!! We didn't risk breakfast, the restaurant showed no signs of being open anyway, although we were advised it would be. We left after one night, booking up a night in a hotel round the corner (which was lovely) and upon clearing our stuff found a former occupant's dirty sock and a cap. We informed reception of everything and the staff member on duty was very apologetic and gave us a comment form we filled in. The manager, not so. He grumbled something about "oh we could of moved you" (yeah let's up and move a family at 2am) then scurried off somewhere leaving the receptionist to handle it. No offer of a refund of the second night we didn't stay.

Hotel relies on coach holidays which is not always conducive for independent travellers. Bedroom roomy but bed a bit lumpy and small. Most hotels of this supposed standard would be looking at minimum 5ft bed not 4ft 6

Absolute rip of

have never stayed in such a low standard hotel. It shouldn't have any *** and shouldn’t be called hotel. Hostel would be a better description. It is old, worn out, old furniture, doors, carpets, seals around the bath are long gone. Only basic hand soap by the sink. no other toiletries. Breakfast for individual guests served only between 8.30 and 9.00. Chceck out 10.00. Hugely overpriced.
