Lovely staff - unsuitable for families

Excellent Staff (friendly and helpful). However the music was incredibly loud until late at night (well past midnight). Eventually we had to sleep with headphones on. This place is really only suitable for those looking for a party/busy location.

Room was quite small and at the very top of 3 flights of stairs. Only got a frosted glass window which would not stay open. So room was also very hot. Bathroom was also quite small, but room was very comfortable and bathroom tidy and adequate. Room really could have done with a chair, as you had to sit on the bed. However, there would not have been enough room to put a chair in the room. The breakfast was absolutely superb, freshly cooked and plenty of it. Staff were all also very friendly and helpful

The staff were most helpful and accommodating including in the bar in the evening and for breakfast in the morning. The property was well positioned for my purpose. Unfortunately there is limited free parking available at the hotel and when I arrived there were no spaces in the hotel car park. There is street parking and a pay to park area close by.

Seafront

Great location, right on the seafront. We were on the top floor, quite a few flights of stairs though! Music/DJ went on quite late, could hear it but it didnt really disturb us. Had drinks there but not food, so cant comment but it looked good. Good value for money.

Hotel perfectly clean and presentable. My main issues were the lack of WiFi on the 2nd floor and the need to climb 3 sets of stairs to reach the room.

Disappointed

Lots if stairs, dont book if you cant manage them.no mention of them on the site we booked.i have copd and did not know which floor we would be on when we booked. Rooms with doors open and clothes all over. Stinks of paint as must be getting a makeover but not mentioned again when booked. Got a standared double room but its like a single room with a double bed, no room to move and no view.

Amazing place - avoid Saturdays if you like sleep

Lovely refurbishment, paid extra to have a suite with sea view however possibly the worse decision as there is live music on each Saturday so we were told when checking in “you might here some music”… returning to the room around 10pm for drinks and enjoying the suite was ruined, as was any chance of sleep until gone midnight - the live band could have been at the end of the bed and it couldn’t have been louder! Ruined what could have been a new regular stay as the rest was spot on and had already been planning bringing other guests for a return trip!

Ett ovanligt hotell vid havet.

Har aldrig checkat in på hotell i en bar förut. Men det hände nu. Här kommer man rakt in i baren. Här äter man frukost också. Lite trappor och prång för att ta sig till rummet. Fina rum. Bra städat. Frukost var också bra. Och ett centralt läge vid strandpromenaden.
