The property is ideally situated on the seafront, a short distance from railway station. The room we had was beautifully decorated and equipped, with a good en- suit shower room. Excellent view of the sea. The only slight negative, was there was quite a lot of noise from the road outside, however this wouldn't put me off staying again !

The hotel was lovely. The room was very clean and on the sea front. The only issue we had was the bed was terrible, spring were noisy every time you moved an inch!! Such a shame as we got no sleep at all. We didn't mind the noise outside but the bed made the night so long and un comfortable.

Great value

Lovely room, boutique feel. Bed was huge and some great original features of the room retained and good location. Warm welcome on arrival. The downside was after booking i found that we had to check in by 530pm and there was no one on site after this time. Wouldn't put me off booking again though

Bright and spacious with aea view

Seafront location on busy road, so some people will prefer rear rooms. Bright and spacious room (4) with decent shower etc and a table and chairs. Parking is a challenge, but ok durng check-in period. Ideal for our short break.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were pleasant, great features having a bathroom in a former bank vault, however the mattress was poor as you could hear and feel the springs when you moved, and the bathroom extractor fan dropped dust. The breakfast in the bistro was fabulous and service was great. It was excellent value all in all.

An excellent night's stay

We had an excellent stay at the Bank Hotel, our room was spotless with a fantastic sea view. The bed was huge and we had a great nights sleep, despite being on the main road there was no noise. The location of the hotel was also perfect, a few minutes walk downhill from the station and close to some great bars and restaurants. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating, I'll definitely be staying again.

Worth it

Perfect for us, right on the water. A bit hot/stuffy (due to surrounding rooms radiators) but easily fixed by opening windows to get fresh sea breeze. Def would stay again, lady down stairs was helpful & their breakfast menu is amazing!!
