The receptionist was lovely and helpful.
The room decor was horrific. The furniture seemed to have been found down the tip. The bed was very comfy though.

unheated bathroom narrow bed
the room was really cold (i think the heating wasn't working properly). the bed was quite narrow, made sleeping difficult. also, the bathroom wasn't heated, so it felt damp and uncomfortable after a shower.

great location food options nice views feeble shower squeaky bed uncomfortable bed
The hotel has a very good location. Many options for food are available nearby. I found the views very nice. My room featured a bathroom with a huge bathtub (perfect for relaxation). Water pressure was also very good.
The shower was a bit feeble. It was slightly annoying to operate. One of the beds was squeaky. It was also uncomfortable.

Comfortable Stay with a Sea View
friendly staff complimentary tea lovely view
The staff was friendly and always ready to assist. The hotel provided complimentary tea and coffee in the room. I was fortunate to have a room with a lovely sea view. The location is very close to the beach.
The bathroom could have been cleaner. There were stains on the toilet seat. The floor near the toilet was dirty. (I hope they fix this soon).
