Reviews and Ratings
This hotel has a prime seaside location which is nice, but unfortunately, it really needs some serious attention. The rooms are quite large but lack comfortable furnishings, and the bathroom was extraordinarily tiny. The breakfast options are really limited too, making for a less than ideal dining experience. The staff was friendly, but ultimately, I wouldn't choose to stay here again given what was offered for the price.
This hotel has a prime location just across the road from the beach and offers a spacious room with a decent view, but overall it feels worn down and could use some serious renovations. While the breakfast is acceptable, the Wi-Fi situation is frustrating as it’s only available in public areas. Additionally, the service was inconsistent, which detracted from the overall experience. The parking situation is limited but worked out for us during our stay.
The hotel has a fantastic location right by the sea with lovely views. I enjoyed the hearty breakfast served with a smile, and the bar area was nice to unwind in. Unfortunately, the room I was allocated was quite small and not what I expected for the price I paid, which was disappointing. Overall, while there are some positives, the room's condition and size were a significant downside.
I had a pretty disappointing stay at this hotel. While the room was clean, it was small and overlooked a messy back area. The noise from outside made it hard to relax. The breakfast was decent, but overall, the place felt outdated and unkempt compared to my expectations. I won’t be returning here, mainly due to cleanliness issues in some areas.
My stay was an absolute dream! The hotel was lovely, with a warm and accommodating welcome from the staff. The room was spacious and comfortable, perfect for my family. I really appreciated the cleanliness and the kindness of the staff. However, I have to note that the parking situation was challenging, and better dining options would have been a plus.
I had an interesting stay at the hotel. While the room was quite spacious and I enjoyed the sea view, there were some significant downsides like the poor Wi-Fi and dirty carpets. The breakfast was decent, and the staff were friendly, but I wouldn't say it was worth the price I paid.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the hotel is clean, and the breakfast selection was great. However, the room's temperature was quite uncomfortable, and the shower only provided cold water. Overall, it’s decent for a budget stay, but there were some significant drawbacks.
My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. The location is phenomenal, just steps away from the beach, and I appreciated the decent breakfast options. However, the small parking area and the absence of a lift made things a bit cumbersome. The room I initially received was far from what I expected, and service was hit or miss, with staff often not immediately available when needed.
I arrived at the hotel with low expectations based on the exterior but was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a stunning sea view, and the breakfast was truly delightful. The location is ideal for enjoying the beach and nearby attractions, making it a good value for money. However, the hotel could use some updates as some areas felt a bit worn down.
My stay at this hotel was disappointing due to multiple issues. The location is nice, right by the sea, and the breakfast was good, but the rooms are extremely small and poorly maintained. The service was lacking, especially from the owner. I felt cheated regarding the room I received versus what was advertised. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless significant improvements are made.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel right on the seafront! The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the breakfast was fantastic. However, the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms and the smell of fish and chips lingering at night were minor drawbacks. Overall, I found it to be great value for money and enjoyed waking up to the sound of the waves.
