The original room we were allocated was a bit small so we changed to the family room. At an off peak price it was good value and I would summarise it as a cheap and cheerful hotel. The staff were all very friendly. The breakfast at £6.95 per person was enjoyable. I would return but only at off peak prices.

A boarding house pretending to be a hotel

Had dropped our bags off earlier in the day, got back to hotel at 10pm, night porter wanted to go eventhough the details say it is manned until 10:30. Porter offered no help with our bags, 2 women up stairs. While sections of the hotel have been updated the reception has the most terrible threadbare carpet. Breakfast is basic served by people who only come in for that. So the hotel is unmanned during the night.

I booked a double and ended up getting room 9 at the top with a fantastic view. It was spacious, modern and the en-suite bathroom was lovely. I would definitely book again as so convenient.

Traveling as a single person I felt very safe, I loved the single room that was comfortable, had everything you could possibly need.Lorraine who helped with the breakfast was absolutely wonderful, she is an asset to the Hotel.I would recommend the Halycon to anyone looking to stay in the area.I would live a return visit. The owner was very accommodating with a late check in. Loved the whole experience.

Great spot at the quieter end of town. My room had a lovely view. Bed was comfy. A few things not working- the wifi only worked in the corridor or in the room, the clock needs a battery and the water pressure in the shower was poor. Other than that all good!

Can’t fault helpfulness of staff. Room was simple but comfortable with sea view. Chest of drawers and coat stand. En suite toilet, wash basin and shower. Down side of hotel: No parking, scaffolding on front elevation, no lift, residential area away from town.

Pros: room looked nice and modern, everything was tidy and clean and cleaning service was great.the windows were nice and big and the view vas nice as well Cons: the mattress in room 8 was terible, it needs replacing as could feel every spring and when siting down you just sink through it. The room was cold in the morning and there was a weird smell in the hallway when you reach around second floor.
