In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Friendly, personal service — Staff are repeatedly praised for being welcoming, helpful, and going out of their way for guests – from sterilising baby bottles to offering local advice.
  • Beachfront location — On the Promenade, with sea views from some rooms and easy access to the beach and central attractions. Guests note the convenience for Coral Island, the piers, and the theatres.
  • Solid breakfast — The breakfast is frequently mentioned as well-cooked, filling, and a highlight of the stay. Bar snacks are also available in the evening.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms are on the small side — While clean and comfortable, some guests find the rooms compact. This is common in older seaside hotels and may not suit those wanting spacious accommodation.
  • Check-in ends at 11 PM — The check-in window runs from 3 PM to 11 PM. Late arrivals after 11 PM may need to make alternative arrangements, which could be inconvenient for some travellers.
  • No pets allowed — This hotel does not accept pets, so guests travelling with a dog or cat will need to look elsewhere.
