The spacious rooms and comfortable beds are frequently mentioned, and the takeaway breakfast bags with croissants and juice are a popular touch, offering a nice alternative to on-site dining.

amazing stay!

cool roomflat screenmodern en-suiteartistic decor
i had a spacious room on the first floor at the rear, so it remained really cool. there was a good flat screen tv with all the freeview channels. a hospitality tray provided supplies to make tea or coffee. the en-suite was modern and everything worked well. the decor of the hotel is artistic, and there was an interesting modern painting on the wall.
i think a deep clean is necessary. it depends on what you are used to in terms of quality and value!

Fantastic Seaside Stay

attentive staff24-hour receptionstocked fridgebreakfast snack
The 24-hour reception was convenient, and I secured a parking pass, updated every 24 hours. A fridge stocked with alcohol was available downstairs. Payment was processed at reception. I appreciated the breakfast snack bag, a nice touch indeed.
My room felt slightly tired and in need of some refurbishment. The decor seemed a bit outdated

my room was on the first floor. the location allows exploring the coast easily. the staff always were helpful and supportive. they gave advice for local travels.
the hotel is a very old building. this needs more investment. the maintanance is needed outside. the lounge areas could use some love.

friendly receptionistcomplimentary breakfastclean roomfaulty bathroom door
The receptionist was so friendly! i found thoughtful touches, like a complimentary breakfast and sweet treats. my room felt both clean and peaceful. the staff was amazing. the room was immaculate, quiet, and it faced the sea!
i noticed the bathroom door didn't close properly, leaving a gap. it made sharing the room a little awkward. the shower's temperature was lukewarm. it wasn't the most satisfying shower.
