George was excellent operating the hotel and made our experience alot better. The property is in a great location, eqsy parking nearby and excellent dining options nearby. I did not eat at hotel for breakfast, but found great options at nearby beach and back street, excellent Greek breakfast.

Excellent sea front hotel

A lovely hotel which was recently renovated. The staff are brilliant and super helpful. Although we did not use the restaurant it looked very good. There was a beautiful cocktail bar too. Our room was on the 4th floor and reached by a gorgeous old lift complete with seats!! The room itself was a little shabby in parts but the views were magnificent. Bathroom was large and very nice. Excellent coffee in the rooms and they all come with access to Netflix etc. Would definitely stay here again. The owners have done a great job of renovating this over many years.

Really friendly staff on reception, parking permit for 24 hours was £2.20, which was really good for right on the seafront. Room was amazing!! Really clean, the biggest bed I’ve ever seen, and really comfortable. Lovely table and chairs by huge windows looking out to the sea. And the bathroom - WOW!!! Huge jacuzzi bath, and big shower!

Clean hotel, communal areas are lovely and breakfast is great. Our room was not as I’d expected. It was small and was worn with chips in furniture and cold! I asked for extra bedding and this was provided, I was also offered a heater for the room as the radiator was not working. I can’t see how the room could have been described as delux double as it was an attic room and the sloping walls meant a mirror couldn’t be hung above the sink so shaving was difficult.

This property was sold as 5 🌟 . It wasn’t that sadly, 2 stars at most, without any of the facilities a 5 star rating eludes to, and some issues that any Hotel should be resolving urgently. We stayed for 3 nights in an executive sea view. The hotel describes itself as sun drenched luxury. It isn’t. There were two positives; the location near the pier on the seafront is good, and our room on the 2nd floor was sea view. When I say sea view, you had to open the window as all of the double glazing in the windows are badly condensated between the glass. Other features were the stains on the carpet, coffee marks on the dresser, and they also left a free gift of Ferrero Roche (2) and some pills from a previous room occupant for my 5 yr old to find under the bed. The Illy coffee machine worked well (only 2 pods provided), but it was a liability on the small table as it shook the kettle off and spilled, fortunately not hot. The LED lights in the lamps were not dimmable and flickered. In the bathroom there was a small bottle of cheap shampoo and a small bar of soap provided for showering. Not even Travelodge are that tight. The bath shower had no temperature control on it and the temperature was variable, dangerous for our 5 yr old. The old-gated lift is quaint, but there’s a reason why you won’t find them elsewhere. And to breakfast; charged handsomely for a buffet which wasn’t provided, limited choice and badly served between buckets catching the rain leaks. Poor & tired

An okay 3-star hotel

A good 3 star hotel, but no ay near 5 stars. One gets the sense this used to be a good hotel, but in the last few years has been operating on a budget (new owners?). The structure of communal and rooms are good, but the furnishings and decor are getting tired. For example my, Aunt stayed in one of the sea view rooms, which had a great aspect and space, but the table had two major cracks in it and looked like it was from a skip. My room was a partial sea view room, and it was fine but rather basic (although the shower head was broken and thick with limescale). The breakfast room is grand, but the tables and chairs very cheap. The breakfast, esp.at £20pp, is really poor. The staff are lovely, but there is not enough of them - the receptionist also had to serve breakfast for example. This helps explain why whenever we called the phone is very rarely picked up. Great location. If you think of this as an okay 3 star youll be pleased, but very disappointed if a 5 star.
