Wonderful views of the ocean. Very impersonal hotel. We tried to communicate and never got an answer and never got to meet any of the staff (there was no one to check us in, during breakfast or to check us out)

Great views from the bedroom. The only problem was lots of stairs but it was worth it for the sea view! Very good location, a leisurely 10 minutes walk to the train station and right next to the town walls and overlooking the lovely South beach.

Russell

Disliked: Staff & service
No staff to check in and we left early, so didn’t see any staff, however, clear check in and key retrieval instructions via text. Room ok and lovely sea view with a small balcony, but the bathroom was tired and shower not great. We had a double and a single in the room, so perfect for my daughter and I. But great position for the esplanade, beach and town centre. If basic, clean and good position is what you’re after, this will suit.

What a beautiful hotel, with rooms overlooking the beach. Fall to sleep with the sound of the ocean, surrounded by luxury. The hotel owner is outstanding and very attentive. The breakfast was of good quality and cooked to perfection! We can't wait to stay again.

Loved our stay here, last minute booking but Graham was more than welcoming when we turned up at the property. A family of 3 (son is 9 years old) and our dog. Room was spotless with an amazing sea view, really beautiful. The beach was just across the road but down multiple steps which some may find difficult to climb. We will definitely be back! Thank you all
