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.
