Beautiful old world - style hotel in prime location. Enjoyed the sea view immensely, comfy bed, spacious room, new-ish bathroom, but interior/furniture in the room a bit shabby (especially the armchairs and the curtains!). Only basic coffee & tea station, no caffeine free or herbal options. Service at breakfast very slow, and partly unexperienced, its only for the tea & coffee... Still a comfortable place to come to!

Disappointed

Property has had its day. Trying to present as upmarket. Have stopped here before many years ago and was bitterly disappointed, however it is not represented in the prices charged. Should have been better stopping it a premium inn.

The whole place is in need of a facelift with obvious wear and tear in my room and public spaces. The spa and pool appears to be permanently closed which would add value to the place.

Stayed a couple of nights in a standard double room. Room size ok but very very dated, bath stained, sink cracked, sash window straight onto kitchen porter area so noise from early in a morning. Tv perched on a floor standing tv stand so you couldn’t really see it from the bed. Lovely old historic building but that doesn’t mean they should of let standards drop which unfortunately they have

Friends Weekend Break.

Very impressive looking Hotel from the outside, equally impressive inside as well. Reception very professional on check in and nothing to much bother for them or any other staff members.. Only downside from my point of view was the waiting for a table for breakfast, other than that would definitely recommend a stay.
