7.4/10

I recently stayed at this hotel during a weekend getaway, and while there were a few hiccups with the room and parking situation, the overall experience turned out to be pretty enjoyable. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, making us feel at home right away. The breakfast was a definite highlight, cooked to order and delicious, but we faced a few challenges with parking. If you can look past the minor inconveniences, it’s a solid choice for a budget stay.

Rooms

Our room was basic and situated on the top floor, and while it offered a limited view, it did have a few issues like steep steps to the bathroom and some light seeping through the blinds. Overall, I’d give the room a 6 out of 10 for comfort.

The hotel had some nice amenities, including a good fitness generator on the fourth floor, but the lack of a lift was a bit of a drawback for those with heavy luggage. I’d rate the facilities a 7 as well.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which turned out to be an excellent choice for my partner's birthday celebration. The room we had was very modern and comfortable, providing just the right amount of space. It was conveniently located right on the seafront, making each morning beautiful with stunning views. The breakfast served was absolutely delicious and definitely a highlight of our stay. However, parking was a bit tricky, and the pillows in the room could have been softer for greater comfort.

The hotel has a lovely sea view which added charm to our stay, but unfortunately, our experience was marred by the lack of cleanliness and some uncomfortable aspects of the room. The staff was genuinely friendly and accommodating, but access to the rooms was a challenge due to the numerous stairs. While breakfast was enjoyable, it left something to be desired in terms of portions and variety.

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying a clean and modern room with charming views. The breakfast was definitely a standout, with high-quality options that fueled our day. However, the dining experience in the evening left something to be desired, as the menu was limited compared to what was advertised. Overall, it offered great value, but it was disappointing to find the wine selection reduced and some items unavailable.
