Excellent location. Top floor has a lovely sea and beach view. Reception were friendly and booking in easy. The choice of breakfast was excellent as were the breakfast staff. The only downside was that I booked during the heatwave and there’s no air conditioning in the room. A fan is provided-but in extreme heat air conditioning would’ve been perfect. I recommend this hotel and will return in the future.

Philip

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Well sited property I’ve stayed in before but for some reason this time the staff were mostly rude and inattentive. The only exception was the lady serving breakfast who was great. Room was boiling and only one of the 2 windows opened. Room was not dirty as such but felt tired and dated. It’s fine as a place to sleep but I’d be disappointed to base a holiday around it. Apart from the breakfast this was no better than a budget hotel chain.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The receptionist didn’t acknowledge me as I approached the desk to check in as she was busy checking her phone. When she finally realised I was there she made me feel like it was a hassle to serve me and she couldn’t wait for me to leave. A polite enquiry about the time for breakfast was met with a roll of the eyes. The staff in the bar/restaurant weren’t much better. It was busy to be fair but they made me feel far from welcome. I left and ate at The Fig nearby instead where the staff were much nicer. Budget hotel, budget experience
