the hotel is centrally located and very reasonably priced, the staff are very helpful, the building is old and for the price its peculiarities are liveable with. This was my second stay and I would stay there again

For the price this place is excellent. You are paying the price of a hostel but you have your own room, a decent bathroom and tea making facilities. The hotel has seen better days, and if you want something swanky pay another £100 per night. Staff were helpful, room was clean, and location is spot on.

Hotel was fine but restaurant and bar were unexpectedly closed and the garden was overgrown and unusable. Early morning Street noise was loud and woke us up. Staff especially Rachel went above and beyond to welcome and assist us. Excellent location within the town and surrounding area.

Liked: Cleanliness
Very old, charming building that has seen better days and could do with some updating and new decoration. However was clean and was very close to local shops and places to eat. Also have to say the Receptionist, Rachel was fabulous and was very helpful and had great local knowledge which helped when planning our stay. There is a small car park for the hotel for which you pay £6 per day and this needs to be booked directly with the hotel as spaces are limited. Would certainly go back for another visit.

Worst hotel stay I have ever had. I had 8 rooms booked for a stay with friends. No hot water for showers etc, toilets broken or blocked! Rooms were unclean on arrival. Lifts were out of use. Not to mention one room had money go missing.

The location of the hotel was perfect for walking to the Valley of the Rocks and the coastal path. We had a room only but that suited us and the service was friendly and helpful.
