    The staff was welcoming and we checked in quickly. Room was clean and we got a shortbreads and Xmas card which was really nice. In second room heating was not working well and we got another, larger room very quickly. Location is great - 3 min walk from the coast.

    It is a simple hotel but had everything we needed for one night.

    7EmmaPosted on: 2-3-2026

    Very clean large room with plenty of tea and milk.

    The shower was poor very slow flow of water and the room was too hot we attempted to turn the radiator off but I feel the gauge was probably broken. I feel they could sweep the external part of the entrance as it is the first impression you get.

    8SarahPosted on: 2-2-2026

    Extremely clean everywhere. Decor in good condition.

    How far away the room was from the reception. On third floor and across several sub stair cases, it felt claustrophobic.

    8PearlPosted on: 2-1-2026

    Friendly welcome, clean throughout

    Decor a bit dated

    7LorrainePosted on: 1-31-2026

    Great location, comfortable.

    A little dated, but good value for money.

    5BarbaraPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Hotel was in a great location. The room was clean and comfortable.

    Very unhelpful receptionist. No information given about wifi, breakfast times,or keys. No ambience in the hotel. Service and food at breakfast was appalling. They took ages to bring food and then it was the wrong order. Staff had zero customer service skills.

    Location

    The noise, every 5 minutes there was a booming noise which lasted about 7 seconds, was like it all through the night and kept us awake.

    10LorrainePosted on: 1-18-2026

    We loved the location.The room was very clean, staff were helpful.Breakfast was lovely

    4BrianPosted on: 1-6-2026

    Clean

    Service was poor Bar didn't open. Couldn't find anyone for breakfast. Ended up at McDonald's

    9MichaelPosted on: 12-30-2025

    Breakfast was excellent. Location is convenient between sea front (one street back) and theatres and town centre. Room was large, well equipped, and warm. On street parking vouchers are available at reception at reasonable cost.

    We were expecting an evening meal to be available but the restaurant and bar is open in the evening only in high season. However we were more than happy to explore the local cafes and restaurant and was good rather than a problem.

    9CliffordPosted on: 12-29-2025

    The room 115 was spacious and clean really good size bed bathroom clean.Breakfast was cooked as you order great

    The only thing that was wrong was the plug in the bath needed cleaning as the water would not go away.
