The staff were nice and the full English breakfast was good. The hotel is undergoing renovation - I'm sure it will be lovely when it's done but right now it's noisy with dark, very basic rooms.

It was nicely situated on the spotlessly clean promenade The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was excellent - nice rashers and sausages. It was being renovated so there was hoarding around the outside, but that did not bother me. Rooms being renovated with sea view looked as if they will be really nice. Room 13 was spacious with a nice clean bathroom. Would stay here again.

This hotel is a 200 year old building and it really felt like it needed painting everywhere. We stayed in a superior twin room, the beds were not comfortable and the bathroom did not feel clean. Saying this all the staff were amazing and could not do enough for you. My mum needed extra blankets on the first night and they were brought to us straight away. The continental breakfast was really good as was the food in the restaurant.

I spent one night whilst visiting a friend and the hotel was absolutely ideal. Fantastic location on the beach front. All of the staff were friendly, the room was a decent size and very clean. Bathroom was also a good size with a powerful shower and extremely clean. It's a touch on the old side and is currently being renovated but honestly for the price it exceeded all expectations. The breakfast is genuinely superb as a particular highlight.

The location of the hotel us perfect for The Spanish City and the beach. The hotel is under renovation and it looks closed. Reception is old and outdated. The staff are nice and helpful. Rooms are ok, bedding was clean and the sea view was great. Breakfast was standard buffet. The breakfast staff are very nice. If they are also renovating the rooms, this will be a fab place. But, at the moment, its ok. Parking is approx 8 or 9 spaces at he front on a first come first served basis. We were lucky to grab a space.

Excellent staff and service throughout, property feels a bit run down though. Hoping the current construction carries through to the inside as it will be an amazing place if it could modernise and clean up a bit.

Great location, but it's so tired and tatty inside. No sound proofing, ancient carpet, mattress and bathroom. It is being refurbished, maybe they'll actually invest some money in the facilities. The staff were really helpful, it's not their fault the owners haven't invested over the years.

Disappointing

Ongoing renovation to front of hotel with scaffolding and plastic sheeting mean no sea view rooms. Many stairs and corridors to negotiate to rooms, no lift. Room poorly furnished but adequate. Very good breakfast however.
