Lovely clean room.The mattress is a little thin and can feel the springs so didn’t sleep too well. Within walking distance to shops and pier.

The property was ok and the staff friendly. However the corridors and bedrooms were far too hot and there was no air conditioning available and a minimal window to ventilate so very uncomfortable to be in

Good convenient location. Clean well appointed rooms. Staff welcoming and very helpful.
Only issue is the room on the 2nd floor was unbearably warm and there was no way to manually control it. The staff provided a floor fan on our second night and moved us to an upper floor day 3 and 4. I would stay again but request a higher floor.

Lovely room and staff but very loud outside noise
Room was exceptionally clean and in lovely condition. Bed was comfortable but pillows were of a low quality not offering much neck support. Staff were friendly and efficient. Unfortunately our overall enjoyment was affected by the location of out room (a corner room facing the high street). The outside noise (bars, clubs, traffic) were very loud until 3.30am. If you can request a room on the other side of the corridor the noise should be less.

Lovely room, if your deaf
Room was lovely , staff the same.
But the road that runs next to this hotel is incredibly load , street racing , fights , bottles being smashed. I’m half deaf and was still woken by very loud noises 3 separate times.

Temperature above 30 degrees in the room (it was 19 degrees outside!) and no way to cool it down, other than to open the window onto an extremely noisy and drunken high street or to put on a noisy fan. Terrible night’s sleep. This is a common and ongoing problem judging by other reviews.

A new hotel - I stayed on the 6th floor which was clearly brand new. The hotel was very clean and a pleasant stay overall. Some teething issues in that some of the appliances were not working (microwave) as they were brand new and not used before, but I am sure these will be ironed out in due course. No air conditioning though, and even though it was only an 18 degree day, it was very hot in the room. My room (suite) did not have a window, but a fan was provided which helped. Staff extremely helpful throughout.

Staff lovely and friendly, the hotel is mainly clean and tidy. However couldn't get onto wifi a couple of the days and cooker wouldn't turn on or cut off on me half way. Also shower clogged up. The app for the laundry doesn't work for android so had to use my colleagues phone to be able to wash my clothes

Stay away. I reserved a room via hotels.com but when I wanted to check-in they told that they are fully booked and theres no room available and ask for a refund. Worst hotel experience in my life.

Nice hotel
Very nice room, clean, comfortable and staff was super nice and friendly. Location was perfect too. The only problem was the room was the room really really hot even though they provided 2 fans. We had to leave the window open all night which can get really loud outside on weekends which is understandable but we had no choice as it was too hot.
