Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff were lovely, but the quality of the hotel was awful. The deluxe room was as far from deluxe as I could imagine, black grouting, curtain that were too short for the windows, furniture that had pealing verniers, a mattress topper that was too small for old mattress, rusty towel rail, threadbare towels and cracks in the walls. The breakfast was poor quality and cold. Unclean, unloved and desperately underfunded. We should have realised when we arrived to letters missing from the name of the hotel. How this is four star is beyond me, I feel sorry for the staff, who were lovely.

The staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. The views from the breakfast room are spectacular - Poirot dined here! (The Majestic as written). The buffet breakfast was very good - the coffee gets cold quite quickly, so sup up! The room was spacious, well-appointed with good water pressure in the shower/bath (yes, there is one) Sadly, although there was a balcony, you were not permitted to access it which was a disappointment given the view.

Lovely cosy room overlooking the bay. Very comfortable bed. Clean bathroom. We did not have breakfast as only normally have toast and it’s a lot to pay for just toast. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Convenient for the town.

good room but no access to the balcony which was hidden in the details which was a real shame - make sure you read before paying for a balcony room - it’s says for ongoing maintenance but they have been closed for years apparently

Building is beautiful, staff were really friendly for check in/out. Great location. We had a comfort room and the bed is quite small. The room smelt weird. We had a tight turn around from check in to our planned entertainment so were unable to talk to reception about the issue.
