Absolute filth 🙈 Wouldnt recommend staying here at all and will never stay again. Complained about the state of our room (bed dirty, damp and the kettle with black bits inside) took over an hour for someone to go up and sort what they could. Was told there was no other rooms however when looking online there was rooms. Spoke to multiple other guests who had the same and had moved to 1 - 3 different rooms. Cleaners want sacking. They make it look tidy but dont actually clean. Entertainment was 30mins long and that was your lot. 🙈 all the floors are slanted and not level. Needs a massive renovation to be honest. First hotel i have ever been to where the receptionist doesnt asks how your stay was or says they hope you enjoyed your stay, which says it all to me. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

The entry and main hall was just beautiful, I even took pictures so beautiful it was. I would not mind the room was old, u could see where the water was leaked in, but crumbs on the floor everywhere even hallway and smushed mirror and cobweb on the sealing, no thank u. Chair dirty from some coffee or milk spill didn’t leave good impression. Again, didn’t mind old fashion room, I very much liked it but the dirt, that was shame for the hotel. As in room so in hallways.

When entering the hotel it looked great all decorated for Christmas but when we got to our room we couldn't of been more disappointed, the dust in the room was unbelievable, marks all over the furniture, the radiators were thick with muck the lights were so dusty in cobwebs , dirty single glazed windows, we didn't even bother using the bathroom apart from the loo, told the kids to keep their shoes on, they did offer us another room but it wasn't much better, slept badly because of this as felt uncomfortable, I will not be going back unfortunately as it's great location to the beach, the staff were friendly also just cleanliness

We booked two nights there with breakfast included, and paid . According to the sheet the hotel gave us, breakfast was served from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM. However, on the second day, when we went for breakfast at 9:30 AM, they told us breakfast ended at 9 and didn’t even allow us to take a coffee, even though there was no note on the sheet indicating that breakfast would be served only until 9 when the hotel is quiet, so that we would know. Since I had booked the hotel, I was very embarrassed in front of my partner, unfortunately.Also, they didn’t come to clean our room; they only gave us towels, and we had to make the bed ourselves. The coffee maker didn’t work either.But the room was spacious and nice, and had a good view, and also the water pressure and the bathtub were excellent.and the staff were polite. Any way thank you .
