Really good Sea View Stay
room fridge convenient fan great view
The large room included a fridge and a fan, very convenient. I enjoyed a great sea view from my window. The location allowed a very short walk to the sea front. It took only about five minutes.
I found no door hangers for 'please clean room' or 'do not disturb'. Room service was also unavailable during my three-night stay.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel boasts common areas with ample seating. These areas are well-portioned and allow relaxation. This provides a comfortable environment outside of their rooms.
Rooms

My room was large, with a very comfortable bed. The shower was great. The water pressure was quite powerful. I appreciated these amenities in the room.
Service
10/10
Staff were fantastic. Edith particularly impressed me, she is amazing. The team was helpful and ensured all my needs were met.
Location
8/10
The location was lovely. It provided central access but it was quiet. I only heard seagulls cooing at night, but the hotel cannot control this natural sound.

Acceptable but Somewhat Disappointing
early bar closing stuffy room
The location is very central (which is convenient).
I found the first room dark and stuffy. Last orders at the bar were too early at 10:30 pm on a Friday. The music was turned off promptly at 11 pm. The night manager, nicola, spent a lot of time vaping outside.
