Gorgeous hotel, I will definitely stay again. My children and I enjoyed being here. The bar/lounge is great as is the impressive reception. Really good food and service from staff. Our room was a little bit dated but did not faze us. As the beds were super comfy and we had a bath and shower which was good. Overall had a great experience.

Although an old building and in need of some TLC and upgrading in parts I love it here ( have stayed numerous times). The location is perfect as it’s close to the beach but also the town centre. The staff are always to hand in times of questions and queries.

Best part of the Hotel the staff friendly and welcoming . Personally would never stay again . The building is grand unfortunately time and the owners have not been kind to it. Very dated and neglected in parts. Appreciate that it’s a budget hotel but come on owners update the facilities. Paid £17:95 for a one course meal in the buffet restaurant was not worth it my opinion. So did not stay for breakfast had at a local cafe instead.

I booked this hotel for a long weekend break with my family. Due to a genuine emergency, I was unable to check in on the day of arrival. I messaged the hotel through Expedia in advance to explain the situation — they acknowledged my message regarding parking, but completely ignored my notice that I would not be arriving that day. When I arrived the following day, I was told my room had been given to someone else. The hotel had re-listed and re-sold my room without any notification or attempt to contact me. Despite showing up in person, I was refused a refund — meaning they effectively charged me twice for the same room while profiting from a new booking. This is both deeply disappointing and, I believe, unfair practice. Neither Expedia nor the hotel took any responsibility for the situation. I will not be returning to this hotel, and I would strongly caution others to consider how either party handles issues before booking

Awful hotel - in a poor state of repaIr and everything is chargeable inc. the so-called pool (actually more like a paddle pool!), even towels at the pool are charged at £2/towel! No hotel parking - buy a permit from the hotel at £10/permit or park at a nearby NCP car park for £6.50/day. Rooms are very basic with awful.views other than the sea view rooms - basic furniture, some mould in bathrooms and some cracked ceilingbtiles. Only good thing is the English breakfast and location by the sea.

Room very dirty and when you asked a staff member about it they said they couldn’t do anything about it smelt like mould and walking throw the hall ways up to the room 129 it had black things all over sealing and blood all over the small bed where my little boy would of slept and the food was cold when you sat down to eat it and egg was like eating rubber and cups had black all down the side of it? It wasn’t the worth the money I paid for it £370 and the window in the bath room didn’t open and it was like a death trap the hall ways getting to the rooms and cob webs all over the ceiling hanging down over bed and curtain and if you wanted a sleep in you couldn’t because all you heard was delivers coming and for a view out the window was dirty blankets and pillows left out side!

Staff was very welcoming and polite. The room was an utter disaster. Dirty walls, smashed door, ripped ceiling, tilted room especially the beds (our kid felt out of bed so tiled), black spots in bathroom, mismatched furniture, big gap under the door (10cm) and the chairs so dirty we where to disgusted to sit on it. The stairwell smelled of chlorine and the hallway was broken in may places. Also the grand entrance where on the ceiling the paint is falling off only held by spiderwebs. Mayor renovations needed!

This hotel was the worst one I have ever stayed in, I expect that it's an Old building, but the overall state of repair is shocking, when you exit the elevator to any floor you see white flakes of paint and wood at every opening, this I deduced was the wood work of the doorway, which was being battered by the wheeled baskets ,that is used for transporting the bed clothes and other parafenalia to and from the rooms, the windows were ill fitting and drafty the door was as if the norm was to prise it open with a screwdriver. The management should prioritise inspecting the place and ensuring that Old doesn't have to mean TATTY.

For an older property, you will expect some flaws and these are generally minor overall. The entrance, stairs and communal areas are well presented, were clean and smelled clean. The room we were in (203) was in a good condition overall, but was showing its age in some places. The windows are painted closed, but are single glazed, so transmit all outside noise. The curtains do not fully block out of the exterior hotel lights (which are on all the time from what I could see) The rail in the wardrobe was on the floor of the wardrobe as an ironing board and desk fan had been stored in there. The bedding was clean, but there were blood stains on the actual pillow itself. A great hotel for its location and price point however. Have stayed here previously and would stay again.
