Good points: Helpful staff. Good location. Decent restaurant food and service. Bad points; poor sound insulation, we could hear the room next door. Window didn't shut due too faulty hinge. Creaky bed.

Lovely hotel in a great location. Friendly staff and very clean. Good value for money. Beds and rooms were small and breakfast service slow (but we were warned of this beforehand!). We had city view rooms and they were nicer than we expected, as there was a field and partial sea view anyway. There is no air con but good quality fans were provided as standard, as well as a single duvet upon request. A pleasant stay, would recommend it for couples more than friends/family sharing (due to bed size) or to book separate rooms if you need more space.
