    Location is great. Bar/food options and staff very good but the lack of lift is a turn off.

    I know it’s an old building but all the stairs were a pain with no lift in the property. Lack of parking facility is inconvenient too because parking on the seafront is so limited, we had to park one street back and bring luggage around. Booked a double room but it was tiny, felt more like a single with a double bed put into it and it was 3.5 flights of stairs up.

    Corridors need updating, but that’s not a major problem. Downstairs bar/restaurant was a bit loud but the upstairs was much quieter.

    Staff exceptional. Wonderful location and the Mussels in white wine, garlic and leeks I would go back for.

    Where our room was positioned ... my sister and I were in rm 108 ...... we would have preferred a room to back of hotel as the music kept her up till 3 ....however bed was so comfy I slept like a log ....

    We had been in for lunch before when visiting from scotland however we were over for aunt s funeral ... it was very welcoming , staff were very friendly nothing was a bother and couldn't do enough for us food was amazing and reasonably priced and a wide range of cocktails !! 😀

    As mentioned in other reviews you can hear noise from the night club, the solution party till closing time.Our window opened onto the court yard where the extract kicked in during the night. Shower was luke warm.

    The breakfast was best I have ever had in hotel, the overall hotel had great vibe for a girly weekend. The staff were friendly , clean and tidy . For short weekend having fun with friends location and facilities could not be better. We would return.

    Love this hotel as it's near my mums nursing home and I travel from UK to visit her. More of a recommendation than a dislike .... If booking.com asks age of guests would this help the hotel reception staff to put folk over the clubbing scene age on a floor higher up than floor 1 as floor 1 the nightclub music is in the room full blast until 4am fri and Sat

    Two every different experiences. First was with my family booked apartment four of us 2 children was great apartment room and located somewhat further from the full on noise as sound of DJ yes noise but not excessive was not too bad at all . It was an excellent stay . Loved it Second visit... room very close to the night DJ events and I'm over the clubbing scene stage lol 😂 but we understood the venue does mention late DJ events The rooms for the near 50,s over 50's if asked aged when booking or through booking.com could help reception staff look at room availability a bit higher up than 1st floor...just an observation/ recommendation. We enjoyed the staff engagement, the service, the food It's an absolutely gem of a hotel. My visits are due to hotel being within walking distance to my mums nursing home as I travel from UK to see my mum .
