Fully refurbished room within a newly refurbished hotel. Great central location with parking (local council) available within a 3 minute walk. Bars, shops and restaurants nearby and a short 2 minute walk to promenade. Room has a kitchenette which is very handy. The member of staff ‘Charlie’ was extremely helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Can highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return.

Checkin was a bit so so. NPC receptionist with I assume the boyfriend eating dinner on the couch. Reception was an empty room with a desk. A little strange.

Parking is an absolute mission, but that's the only complaint, price you pay for city centre stay. No complaints in all fairness just work around it

Beautiful clean place to stay, the sheets were fabulous quality, the bed was great. I didn't have a view but that was ok. I arrived late at night, some parking advise for guests is necessary. No milk provided for tea or coffee a bit disappointing. A fabulous café downstairs, for the best coffee and pastries also very classy. They should be working together. Beautiful place to stay and great location.
