Samuel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Ok for the money

Room was clean, staff pleasant however the room was very basic and shabby. Good value for 1 night but would not want to stay longer or would use in future.

Good location

Good location with parking out front. Have still not returned my £30 “deposit” which I am not sure what was for.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was ok for what we needed, 12 blokes on a golfing trip don't have sophisticated tastes. My biggest complaint was parking, on the first night we couldn't find anywhere to legally park within half a mile, but after about 7pm, we moved our cars right outside the hotel for free parking till 8.00 the next morning

Family weekend stay

Excellent location and great value for the price paid. Old building but very tidy and polite and friendly staff. Lovely sea view from the window and room was very spacious.

4/10 Fair

I don’t like to give negative reviews but this place was very run down and could do with a big renovation. The bathroom was grubby and dated, the furniture was dated. If felt like I was in the 80’s again. We were meant to stay 2 nights but only ended up staying for one because it wasn’t a pleasant place to stay. The only positive thing I could say is that the location was good and the staff were friendly.
Nicholas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel room was clean, tidy and fresh looking. Rest of hotel looking its age and out dated. Took over half hour to locat a free parking spot in surrounding street
Neil, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Awful - This is why it is so cheap

Really sorry to say this but this place is a dump! Windows don't open, no AC, dirty bed sheets, shower was awful and leaked, bed was rock hard, pillows tiny and gave me a really sore neck, awful smell, dodgy lift, huge piles of dirt and rubbish out the front, really noisy at night (hearing "call to prayer" multiple times through the night from residents upstairs"). I would never stay here again.
Mark, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Would not recommend

At the start there was an unexpected deposit to pay of £60! We were initially given rooms that hadn’t been cleaned. Had to wait for new room key while the manager dealt with another complaint. Manager and receptionist had an argument in the lobby. Building was very dated, not seemingly in good condition. The rooms themselves were clean enough though tired & dated. Windows don’t stay open. There was a puddle on the bathroom floor. Would not recommend.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Ian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid at all costs

As a well travelled couple both in the uk and abroad this has to be the worst hotel i have ever stayed in. No heating, discarded tissues in the room, an unfriendly receptionist, no free parking as stated, water stains on the ceiling worse than the titanic, the shower wouldnt give a sparrow a good wash and completely run down. Makes fawlty towers look like a luxury resort.
Dominic, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Functional

Basic functional hotel for a short overnight stay, hotel is clean on reflection ( towels bedding bathroom etc ) but it is aged and somewhat run down

8/10 Very good

This hotel is slowly being refurbished.

Hotel is under renovation (and probably has been for some time) so we didn't expect much. Parking can be a problem, but we managed to find a spot 100 yds away. Parking is free (but scarce) between 6pm and 8am. We arrived at 5.25pm so only had to pay until 6pm. Receptionist was a delight but seemed to be the only staff on duty - she doubled up as bartender. Lift ancient and cramped. Found our room on top floor but it hadn't yet had it's card key lock fitted, had to return to reception for physical key - receptionist full of apologies. Room was spotless and larger than we expected for a "compact double". Spacious bathroom and tea and coffee making. Bar was reasonably priced. We sat outside on the front terrace. View was great and it was surprisingly quiet apart from some aggresive Herring Gulls. A few building bits and pieces here and there. It would be churlish to criticise this hotel at the price they are charging. We stayed just one night before catching an early ferry. Stay again? Absolutely!

Customer service great but no basic hot water

Unfortunately we have experienced a cold water so then the day after hot water so we could not have a shower at all.
