Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the spacious family rooms, often comprising two separate bedrooms and featuring amenities like Sky TV, kettles, and ample storage. The comfortable beds are a recurring positive point, ensuring a good night's sleep, and the availability of a fridge and microwave in some rooms adds convenience. While some guests have occasionally noted issues with the heating or hot water, the hotel's location above a pub is generally not a problem, with many finding the rooms surprisingly quiet.

cozy seaside escape

great knowledgeexcellent valueclean room
The bar staff had great knowledge. they showed a great understanding of how to get to places with buses, trains and nice walks. the staff provided excellent value for money. the room included all that i needed and sky tv was installed (i watched movies all night!). the room was clean. That means a lot to me.
I found that there was no additional lamp in the room. Just the main ceiling light made things a little tricky at bedtime.

the location is excellent, as it is just a short walk to the open air theatre and the seafront (it's really nice to get some fresh air). the building features a well maintained decor that guests will appreciate.

The room had a comfortable bed.
The room lacked hot water in the shower one morning. Cleanliness could be improved. There was a used cup in the sink upon my arrival.

My room was modern and the layout was nice. The pub downstairs had an amazing atmosphere. The staff really went out of their way to accommodate (it was really helpful).
I found that the flooring was squeaking when I walked. The people downstairs in the bar were very loud and noisy.

a good stay

small apartmentseating areafire alarm
i discovered our room was a small apartment it was unexpected. one bedroom featured two single beds with a television and it felt private. the other room contained the double bed a television a seating area a desk a mini fridge and a microwave it was practical.
the fire alarm sounded at 2am there were no staff available and no contact number was provided. hotel guests were uncertain how to react and in a state of unrest. the fire brigade was called by a guest the possibility of relocation added to our unease.

the bed was comfortable.
I found a few issues, though. The noise from the bar downstairs went on quite late. i had some trouble getting to sleep. the room felt a bit bare with only a ceiling light. A small lamp would have helped.
