Lady very helpful, pity the property is somewhat needing attention. Considering a lot of homeless people are currently living there which is great for them and the property but is not necessarily conducive for travellers.

Not Impressed

Sadly this old hotel has not been restored to it former glory. It has had a refit to the interior.,the exterior is extremely run down. Our welcoming committee & they were. Was a set of long term residents seated outside a keypad locked reception door. Very sadly too as they openly shared with me. They were being housed in the hotel having fallen on hard times. (They were not asylum seekers) We paid a budget price so our expectations were not high. However the price paid was excessive. Given that this property is currently really a hostel. It is Not conducive at all with an overnight relaxing trip.

Don’t let your initial vision put you off, the hotel looks very run down but is very clean and comfortable. We had a sea view which was nice however it also means you have the hotel front lighting shining through the curtains which isn’t ideal. We would stay again with more limited expectations.

Comfy but needs work

Friendly staff, clean room, very comfy bed. The outside looks delapidated and carpets in the passageways are old and a bit grubby. The lift was small and the lift doors could do with painting. The signage could do with updating. They are obviously trying to upgrade everything but the room could have had a new lampshade on the room light and pull string in the bathroom. The room wall table could do with a paint or restaining. The wardrobe internal shelf should be painted.

When booking this hotel, it looked lovely. Unfortunately on arrival, it was clear that the pictures on here were taken many years ago! The room was clean but there a lots of bodge jobs done in the room. We met a couple of the obviously long term lodgers, one of who was aggressive towards us! One a positive, the staff were cheery, friendly and helpful. A beautiful costal walk is on your doorstep and the hotel is very near to the venue we attended last night.

We stayed in building site, everywhere was dusty, inadequate shower, hallway sometimes no electricity due to building work. Marketing trick is photo of hotel and condition of hotel completely different, advert shows hotel but reality is building site. Also there is no parking space for the hotel.
