Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were perfect, very clean, and equipped with tea and coffee making facilities and WiFi. The service was cozy and welcoming, with friendly and approachable staff. The location suited my needs perfectly, just a few minutes' walk to the seafront. The dining was delicious and generous, although I had to leave early and couldn't fully enjoy it. Overall, a lovely experience worth repeating.
The hotel had cosy beds, clean rooms, good-sized showers, great lighting, and was just perfect and very clean. The service was described as going out of their way to help, friendly, smiley, and approachable. The location was within walking distance to the seafront and town, near lovely staff and entertainment, but away from most shops and restaurants. The dining experience was praised for using good quality ingredients and being a great start to the day, although some found the offerings not sufficient. The facilities were highlighted as excellent overall.
The hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms and great service. The location is convenient, near the beach, and the dining experience is satisfactory. However, some facilities need improvement.
