Perfect central spot for everything we needed. Would definitely rebook & stay again!!
The hotel room was basic old and dated asked for a sea view but the windows were so dirty it was hard to see.
The staff were polite and helpful the breakfast was good.
In the public areas the decor more than made up for the room. Worth a visit
Beautiful historical hotel, room was good size and had everything what was needed. Hotel had entertainment each evening for free. It is great value for money spent.
I was woken up a few times during the night noises

A very long queue to check in then to be moved to another queue!
Room was not the best but ok to get your head down. Very basic small, bed against the wall which is an issue when of a certain age needing the loo in the night. Very dated cheap furniture.
On going down for breakfast it was £12.50 each but told if we booked on arrival it would have been £10 each, stated that we were not made aware of this, it was the same girl who checked us in. She apologised and said she should have informed us. So I asked as she forgot to tell us could I book the 3 mornings for breakfast £60 but she said no….. wanted £75! I again said that it was her who admitted it was her fault but basically… tough!! So just had it the one morning and went elsewhere, it was the principle not the cost!!
Won’t be booking there again.
The hotel was a complete dump. 1st room was freezing with no window and broken heating, 2nd room also no window, partner put his bag on the floor in the bedroom and went for a shower, water leaked under the floor and soaked his clothing. Nothing done about it. Hotel was dirty and not fit for purpose.

The perfect location for stunning views of the harbour and the beach. A beautiful, imposing property with breathtaking architecture. Sadly the exterior on the side of the beach is in dire need of attention. Peeling paint and filthy windows spoil the aesthetics of the property. Our sea view was marred by the caked on dirt on the window.
The dining room is clean and inviting, the food was good and plentiful. Sadly no luggage store to leave our baggage was disappointing.
Overall a lovely experience but could definitely be better

Location brilliant, breakfast very nice, the checking in time was terrible had to wait a long time in a long queue. The walk to our room had sick left on the carpet for over 24 hours even though it was reported
It's a cheap hotel for a night. Always busy in a budget hotel but it's very runned down and dirty in rooms. I give the hotel 2 stars as the condition is horrible
