Very spacious room with amazing sea views, however, decor very old and dated. That said, still reasonable for the price. Some renovation works going on, could be amazing in this location
Staff were polite friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely, we would happily stay here again. Thank you we enjoyed our anniversary break.

Great location, right above the beach. Good breakfast, lovely staff. The lift was broken and we were on the fourth floor, but as the hotel is undergoing extensive repairs, this was understandable. I'd definitely stay here again.
Really enjoyed our stay room was clean and up to date only drawback was the price of drinks which was way over the top only drunk there once.Breakfast was great hot and freshly cooked will stay there again as we have in the past staff were friendly
The property is very centrally located with lovely views. Breakfast was good.
Work was being done on the windows during my stay.
Room was large, clean and comfortable.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Very reasonable rates for a spacious room with sea views. Clean throughout and comfortable mattress. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Centrally located
Excellent location, service was good. Room could do with a little update but overall clean and comfortable. Perfect for the few days we were away staff helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was ample and well cooked
Thank you

Great value hotel.
Fantastic loctation, large comfortable room with great sea views, good wifi, tv, tea/coffee & ok bath & shower. Good breakfast choices & very nice breakfast room. Hotel is run down & you need to be fit to climb stairs but rooms,food & welcome are great. Excellent value for money over all.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although work going on in the building, it did not affect us. Room was huge, bed very comfortable, and the added bonus of a large sofa to watch tv if needed, small table and 2 chairs overlooking the sea. And all exceptionally clean. Everything you need in the room, tea/coffee, towels, soaps, hairdryer etc. Would definitely go there again.
