the staff were friendly. the location was convenient.

The room i booked. A small double rear view shower. Wasn't well maintained, i found mould in the bathroom, and the shower was not working properly. the room also had a very unpleasant smell, it was not a good experience. i was really disappointed with the state of the room, it needs some serious attention!

Fantastic Stay with Amazing Sea Views!

amazing sea viewspacious roomcomfortable couchhuge bed

I had such a great time here! The sea view was amazing. My room was spacious. It featured a lovely bow window with a comfy leather couch right in front. The bed was also huge.

I noticed that the communal areas felt a little dark. the layout of my bedroom was somewhat peculiar.

The hotel boasts an excellent seafront location, just a short distance from the pier. A convenient bus stop sits nearby, and the train station is only about 15 minutes away on foot. I found getting around easy

the staff was very cute here. they had snacks dotted around the hotel that you can help yourself too. the hotel also had a space for pool and table tennis if you fancy some social activities. i was very happy with my stay.

The shower water pressure wasn't good. the shower curtain wasn't clean. There was orange mould at the bottom. the hotel would benefit from refurb and redecoration. it was adequate if you are looking for basic accommodation.
