The hotel is excellent value for money. Walking distance for many venues. Walk-in shower was great. Yes the room needs updating, however everything was absolutely spotless. Will definitely stay again.

At the moment there are scaffold on the outside, it didn't affect my stay. Hotel was well situated for the front and a short walk to the bars. I would consider staying here again.

The location of the hotel us perfect for The Spanish City and the beach. The hotel is under renovation and it looks closed. Reception is old and outdated. The staff are nice and helpful. Rooms are ok, bedding was clean and the sea view was great. Breakfast was standard buffet. The breakfast staff are very nice. If they are also renovating the rooms, this will be a fab place. But, at the moment, its ok. Parking is approx 8 or 9 spaces at he front on a first come first served basis. We were lucky to grab a space.

Although renovations are taking place the hotel was comfortable and clean (as was reasonably expected under the present circumstances). The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was brilliant with pleasant staff on hand and fresh hot food available. I would definitely stay here again

Staff were very good. Helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Bed comfy but room freezing cold as were the corridors. We were given an extra heater. Shower was mouldy. Rooms need refurbishing. Hope it’s not just the front being done.

Amazing breakfast included. A decent room for a couple of nights. I would recommend looking for somewhere like this over mainstream chain hotels for over nights. The room was good, I think I'd stayed here in the last 30 years as a kid. It was good enough to be comfortable until tomorrow morning. A fantastic breakfast, proper good grub, done well, at an affordable price.

No sea view and cold

We were welcomed nicely. Got to our room witch we paid extra for sea view on entering room there was no sea view due to windows being sheeted up with scaffold so could not see out of window and room was freezing as heating didn’t work. So they moved us to another room which was bigger and still cold and also windows covered up so could not see the sea through window. It’s quite bad when you pay extra for a sea view and don’t get a sea view.

Sea view

Had a sea view suite which was an amazing big room. Really comfortable. The only downside was the lack of parking. Breakfast was great.
