    Cons -

    • Beds, cleanliness, stale odours
    • Very dated and the hallways smelled like wet dog. Moldy shower curtain and gout in bath.
    • Curtains were dirty and we asked a room with a balcony but we never received information about it. There would have been a couple of waters at least beside the kettle. The room was a bit old honestly. tv was not working.

    Overall comfortable, good value for money, food was very good and staff were really friendly.

    Everything was good.

    9MarianPosted on: 2-20-2026

    i hah bacon and tomato which were excellent.

    i would have liked the coffee to be stronger but i didnt ask so maybe this would have been possible

    8AudreyPosted on: 2-13-2026

    The scenery was fantastic and the room was a combination of both spacious and cosy.

    When we arrived at the hotel the ladies on the front desk were not very friendly or helpful,although the other members of staff were very accommodating.

    8DaniellePosted on: 2-2-2026

    Fantastic value for money. The staff at the desk were extremely friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to open the doors for me when I had the pram. We had a big group of family with lots of kids and they were nothing but pleasant and helpful.

    Bed a little uncomfortable but likely my preference for a firmer mattress

    8RanPosted on: 2-2-2026

    The staff are friendly and professional. Room is big, clean and airy, heating works really well, got everything i needed oh and I really like the water pressure and shower.

    The decor is a bit basic but doesn't bother me

    9JodiePosted on: 2-2-2026

    Excellent location, friendly staff clean rooms. Really happy with the hotel alot better than I was expecting with the low cost. Will definitely be back

    8PadraicPosted on: 2-1-2026

    Interior decor. Helpful staff. Nice food. Great seafront location.

    Room was too hot even though we managed to get the radiator off after we checked in. Pillows seemed good but were strangely difficult to get comfortable on.

    8MichellePosted on: 1-27-2026

    The food was amazing ! Chicken was juicy and tender and seafood chowder was jummy.Renovated bathroom was fantastic with excellent shower pressure and super hot water.Hotel may be an older style but it kicked all goals and I would stay again.

    Have stayed here before . Great location It was our anniversary . My other half spoke to Thomas prior to our stay who arranged for the room to be decorated with swan towels and balloons

    All the staff were lovely . Night time male receptionist (not Thomas) was rude when we came back in the evening . The door was locked due to high winds and he didn’t seem very happy that he had to come and let us in

    Fabulous hotel. Rooms were gorgeous and staff very helpful and friendly.

    10LiliyaPosted on: 1-12-2026

    The hotel is simply magnificent. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, all the necessary toiletries. Friendly and polite staff. Located on the seafront. Beautiful view. There are bus stops nearby, from where you can get to the city centre and the airport.

    8GlenPosted on: 1-6-2026

    Great location overlooking the sea, the beach and walking trails are literally just a 2 minute walk away. Nice cozy bar restaurant as well

    10CatherinePosted on: 1-6-2026

    Love staying here great staff facilities and location

    8GlenPosted on: 1-6-2026

    Always a cozy stay here and the location by the sea really adds ambience. Staff also helpful and friendly. The bar restaurant is superior to many hotel lounges

    8BarbaraPosted on: 1-2-2026

    Location was excellent right opposite the beach! Staff in the bar were friendly and helpful.

    Would be nice if there were a few sofas or comfy chairs in the reception area.
