fantastic stay

beautiful view helpful staff room upgrade great dinners
the hotel upgraded my room, and i think i got the best room. the views were beautiful, and the room had a coffee machine. everyone was kind and helpful, especially during dinners at hardy's bar (i loved those!). i appreciated the dressing gown and couch in the room.
the room lacked sufficient lighting around the mirror in the bathroom, making it difficult to apply makeup.

underwhelming stay, some issues

weak pressure sealed window
my room had a few noticeable issues. the shower's water pressure was weak. the tv offered a limited selection of only eight channels. also, the sealed window prevented fresh air from coming in. it impacted my overall experience negatively.

Great location Near the Coast

large window spacious bathroom available staff
My room had a large window with an unobstructed view. I appreciated the spacious bathroom. It included separate bath and shower facilities. The front desk staff was available 24/7, ready to assist with any inquiries. I also liked that there was a train station close TO the building.
Furnishings looked old.

The breakfast buffet featured many choices, including fresh fruit, pastries, and hot dishes. I also noticed that the restaurant offers a children's menu with smaller portions and kid-friendly options. That was ideal for families.

My sea view room included blackout curtains. These ensured a dark sleeping environment at night. A mini-fridge was available for storing drinks and snacks. The room featured complimentary toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

The hotel location is great. It is near the train station.
I stayed at the hotel for several nights. The cleanliness was not up to my expectations. The sofa had mold, and the rugs seemed quite old.

lovely hotel stay

comfortable room peaceful atmosphere well-equipped bathroom
the room was spacious and comfortable. it was in a quiet part of the building. the bathroom was well-equipped too, always a plus.
i had a slight issue with the check-in time. i arrived a bit early and had to wait until the official time, a little inconvenient as i had plans. hopefully, they can be more flexible in the future.
