When we arrived it was earlier than check-in time so I asked if the room was ready. Reception said yes but when we entered the room clearly it wasn’t. Dirty cups shower and bed. Rubbish all over the floor. Admittedly they cleaned it up whilst we went out. Bar staff not trained to pour drinks one evening. Could hear a very angry woman shouting until 2am so no sleep through thin walls. Not blaming staff and I suppose being a cheap hotel you get what you pay for.

One Night to go to The Pavilion Theatre. Only 15 Mins walk - parking can be a premium in town - already paid £10.00 for 24hrs. Reception staff very friendly Bar prices reasonable Room - in need of decoration - stained and marked carpet - flaking wallpaper - security device on door not fit for purpose. Bathroom - in dire need of decoration - missing plaster painted over - shower screen fouls on basin - toilet roll holder funny position. Breakfast - continental with fills ciabatta rolls (bacon/sausage/cheese and pesto) - if I’d paid separately I’d be disappointed bus as it was in the room price it was just acceptable.

Room was filthy, there were black hairs everywhere, we found a false eyelash on the bath plug. There was and still is an empty oasis bottle under the bed, the dust at the back of the headboard was at least 1 inch thick as was the dust on top of the hanging space. Stains on carpet.chairs curtains, mirrors and walls. We went to Primark and brought blankets as we didn’t want to sleep in the beds. Stair carpet hasn’t been hoovered for ages and there was a massive clump of black hair on them the whole time we were away.

One of the noisiest rooms I have stayed in as there was a large gap between the bottom of the door and the floor so you could hear everything outside the room, especially late at night and early in the morning. Then at 9.30am and 9.35am I twice had members of staff just walk straight in to the room to try and clean it, no knocks, checks or anything... checkout is supposed to be at 11am! It was not a great stay or experience unfortunately.

First impression of hotel upon arrival is it looks nice and clean. Receptionist was a nice guy. Went up to our given room only to find it was already occupied!! So back down to Reception and it took them 10 minutes to find us another room. Room was ok apart from a little grubby in places and some mold around the balcony door. Breakfast was ok but not really worth the £7.50 charge in my opinion

It’s a shame that the hotel currently has a large development/ building site directly outside which I imagine will last at least another year. The room was quite nice in terms of layout and facilities, but it was obvious that vacuuming could be addressed. The bed was very comfortable! There is AirCon in the room, but it appears the guest has no control over it. It was a very mild night, and I couldn’t get the AC to do anything 😔 In terms of location….its at least a 20 minute uphill walk from town/ beach. I walk quite fast, so maybe a 30 minute walk for some? It is a nice quiet nights sleep though with how far out of town it is 👍 I couldn’t comment on the food, as I didn’t eat here. They do provide plenty of tea/ coffee sachets. I would just recommend improving the quality of the vacuuming between guests. I’m also not sure the coffee shop/ bar area is staffed….I stood there for between 10-15 minutes before check-in as I was early, but nobody noticed or approached me to see if I wanted to order anything. Overall, I feel it was an okay place to stay for a night, but no more than that really. My opinion is only based on the double room that I booked with them.

Pleasant and helpful staff

The hotel staff were quite pleasant and welcoming, which made for a positive first impression. However, the hotel itself could benefit from some redecorating and a more thorough cleaning. While my room appeared neat at first, I later discovered a few items left under the bed by previous guests, and there was a noticeable layer of dust on the headboard. The carpets seemed very old and likely trapped a lot of dust, as I found myself sneezing frequently during my stay. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable and the bed linen was clean. I also think the hotel could improve by offering a greater variety of options and more flexible opening times in their restaurant. Overall, the staff were great, but the hotel would be much better with some updates and more attention to cleanliness.

Family room with kitchenette

Large clean quiet family room with kitchenette (fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, sink, cutlery, tin opener, crockery) Shelving for luggage and hanging rail with hangers. Good lighting plus bedside spotlights. Shower takes 5 min to get warm and is rather weak. Bath panels a bit mouldy but everything else in working order. The room is a bit dark but didn’t bother us too much. Slightly smelt of dog.
