Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and various attractions. The rooms are clean and cozy, but there are some minor issues with maintenance. The service is mostly pleasant, with a welcoming manager. The dining options are varied, although timing could be improved. The facilities provide basic amenities, but some areas need attention.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, but they were not thoroughly cleaned, as I found a ketchup sachet under the chair. Additionally, the layout with the sink in the bedroom instead of the bathroom was a bit odd. The loud music from the live entertainer on the weekend could be bothersome if you're not a fan of that.
The hotel is in a prime location, near the seafront and with great shops nearby. The room with a window facing the tower was cozy with a double and single bed, but noise from the outside terrace could be bothersome. The service was top-notch, with quick and efficient service provided by the staff. The dining options offered various European dishes but at an early time. Overall, a very nice stay marred only by occasional noisy disturbances.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were refurbished to a good standard but needed better attention to detail, like changing the net curtains. The bathroom was lovely though. The service was a mix of friendly and excellent assistance with a downside of inconsistent manners. The location was convenient, near the seafront and theaters, offering a wholesome stay with entertainment options. The dining experience offered various dishes but had limited choices for breakfast.
