Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers lovely rooms and a wonderful dining experience, but the room size could be disappointing. The service is exceptional, and the location provides stunning views but parking may be a slight issue.
The hotel was just not worth the £150 in my opinion. The rooms had no view, were very dark with the blinds shut, and felt a bit tired-looking, although they were still lovely. We had good air conditioning and heating if needed, and a small fridge in the room; however, it seemed that the room had not been double-checked as we found a half-drunk can of soda in an empty bar fridge.
The hotel has a great location, fantastic for the seafront and town center, but lacks in room design and cleanliness. The service is a mix of extremely friendly and helpful staff but also slow and rude encounters. The dining experience can be rushed with limited options available. The overall value for money may vary depending on your priorities.
