Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has stunning views from the bedroom above, but the curtains were falling down, which was a bit inconvenient. The service was excellent, especially with housekeeping, and the location was very close to the tram down to the beach. The dining experience included delicious gourmet food. However, the price for the facilities was a bit on the expensive side.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and had comfortable beds, although the curtains were falling down at times. The huge bathroom was a nice bonus. The service was exceptional, especially the housekeeping and happy hour offerings. The location couldn't be better, with easy access to the sea and the tram leading to the beach. The dining experience was top-notch, with extraordinary dishes served. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a great overall experience.
The hotel is ideally located close to the seaside, making it convenient for beach lovers. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but with some window issues. The service is diligent and friendly, offering a pleasant stay. However, the dining options are limited. Overall, it's a good value for the price.
The hotel is conveniently located near the town center and main shops, down to the beach, and close to the old Victorian tramway leading to the south beach. The rooms offer spectacular views but are slightly let down by non-opening windows and falling curtains. The beds are really comfortable, though, providing a good night's sleep for guests.
The hotel offers a mix of positives like spectacular views from the bedroom, a spacious bathroom, and convenient location, but is held back slightly by the non-opening window in the bedroom. The housekeeping service was excellent, and the happy hour added a nice touch to the stay. The location, with its proximity to the seafront and Victorian tramway, is a major highlight. The dining experience included Italian food offerings and met expectations, but the absence of included meals may affect the overall value for money.
The hotel offers stunning views, but some room features can be improved. The service is top-notch, and the location is convenient for exploring the area. The dining options are satisfactory, and the facilities meet basic needs.
The hotel offers incredible views and spacious bathrooms in the rooms but is situated a good 10-minute walk from the seafront. The housekeeping service is attentive and efficient, and the happy hour adds a nice touch to the stay.
What a fantastic place to stay! The hotel is very close to the tram down to the beach and situated near everything you could need. The rooms are lovely, with comfortable beds, even though the curtains falling down slightly disrupted the view. The breakfast provided is plentiful, and overall, it offers great value for money.
