You get what you pay for…

Overall a Pleasant stay. Location 15 minutes walk to the beach. Car park Free but limited spaces. The room decor outdated. It’s definitely brings back 80’s vibes. Furniture, tv and bathrooms all need to be updated. Internet WiFi slow. If you are on level 2 or 3 good luck to you finding your room. Lift not working during stay of 2 nights. Staff were friendly.

The overall stay was extremely disappointing. It was more like a motel than a hotel. The whole building looked like no-one cared about it with stained carpets, peeling wall paint, stained and just an overall outdated look. Lifts were out of order and there was an old people smell throughout the building. The games room had broken games and lacked any enticement. The beds were soft and uncomfortable and the lack of air conditioning made sleeping an impossibility during the mini heatwave the country was facing when we stayed. Leaving the windows open did little good as besides the heat you now faced an onslaught of noise from the seagulls and other guests. Quite frankly feel like l was robbed by having to lay what l did to stay here and l would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The only feature worth mentioning was the indoor pool which despite not being monitored by anyone - it was a decent size and clean.

Dissatisfied

The property is located at an ideal location, which made it easy to walk. Room cleanliness is poor, bathroom dirty and mouldy, and taps were difficult to turn both on and off. The beds very uncomfortable, the entire property could benefit from a renovation. However, breakfast didn't have many options, but it was ok.

Bed & pillows weren't the most comfortable but all linen was spotless. Only had one dinner - the salad was good but the rest of the food wasn't terrific. The Saturday evening entertainment was very good. If going to the same area again I wouldn't hesitate to seek accommodation there.

Satisfactory short stay

The internet connection in the room was weak. Noise from a neighbouring room was very annoying as there was a locked door between teo rooms. The lift didn't work for the entire stay. Bad quality of coffee at the breakfast and little choice of food.

Would not be my first choice.

Welcome to the 1980's, probably the last time is was shown a lick of paint, or in some cases cleaned. Floors stick in restaurant, tables sticky. Just seems unloved.
