a lovely stay

room layoutcomfortable bedmissing sofa
I really liked the room layout. It felt so spacious. the bed was great, ensuring a restful sleep. any questions i had were answered quickly. I felt totally supported .
The room only had one chair. The listing suggested a sofa. this impacted seating options. hopefully, they consider additional seating in the future.

Convenient Stay Near the Seafront

ample spacemodern ensuitefriendly stafftatty blind
The room offered ample space and I appreciated the modern, super clean ensuite. The breakfast provided good choices. I enjoyed the cooked full English breakfast. The staff were very friendly.
I found the blinds tatty and they did not work properly. There was no WiFi code shared proactively, which caused some inconvenience. I had to request it separately.

FANTASTIC stay!

great locationcomfortable bedpowerful showerdelicious breakfast
The location was AMAZING!!! It was just a few minutes walk away from the international centre. The room had a comfy bed that was well presented. The bathroom included a nice, powerful waterfall shower. The breakfast was delicious too.
I noticed that the window rattled a bit, but I managed to fix it temporarily with some paper. It was very minor.

A Solid Stay Close to the Beach

great locationgrocery storefriendly teamdraughty windows
The hotel had a great location, about five minutes from the beach. I appreciated the grocery store nearby. It was convenient. The team was friendly, and this added to the positive atmosphere. I also found the breakfast excellent and a really good value.
My room felt quite cold because the heating was off, and the windows let in a draught. The staff provided a portable heater, and I am grateful for that. I think the windows should have better insulation.
