Our room looked literally NOTHING like the charming photo - we had a single and a double bed in a quite old fashioned room. No air con. Heat blasting in the windows. Which opened, so that's good! Still nice though. Very old fashioned and charming. Oh god and the elevator is VERY small, so if you dislike small spaces... but the bar and bar staff rock! And front desk guy was lovely.

The hotel overal was okey, nice family room, good location for shopping, walkable to the sea site. The minus was the hot water which you have to wait like 10 mins and you have to constantly run water to get warm/hot, which in mine opinion its waste of the water and the boiler should be change at that stage. At the front of the reception we have slight struggle to get hold as was no one at the desk and no ring bell or anything to be able get attention. By the way we didn't hear when we check out from the receptionist words " I hope we see you again", instead we heard " okey, bye" which put us off more to the hotel.

This hotel was extremely disappointing. The room was dirty, poorly maintained, and felt very rundown. Pigeons could be heard cooing right outside the window early in the morning — no netting or barriers to prevent them. The shower only worked if I turned on both the sink and shower taps at the same time, which is unacceptable. No bath mat made the floor slippery and unsafe. Towels were limited and the in-room refreshments were poor — no milk and out-of-date biscuits. The one positive was the receptionist, Kieran. He was polite, professional, and helpful. I sincerely hope he moves on in hospitality, away from this establishment. I paid over £100 for one night and expected at least basic standards. Unfortunately, this place failed on almost every level. I won’t be returning.
