Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spectacular views from the balcony, but the rooms were poorly maintained with doors coming off cupboards. Despite the bunk beds, the cleanliness was acceptable. The location was ideal for our event on the south coast. The dining experience offered beautiful views, although limited to hot sandwiches. Overall, a decent choice with some room for improvement.
The hotel has a stunning seaside location, offering breathtaking sea views from the balcony rooms. However, the maintenance of the rooms, especially the doors, needs improvement. The welcome drink was a nice touch, but housekeeping service could be more attentive.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms offered fantastic views and a larger-than-average bed, they were poorly maintained with doors coming out of the cupboard, and I was disappointed to see that the bathroom was still awaiting refurbishment. The service was decent, with a friendly housekeeping staff and a nice welcome drink. The location was beautiful on a sunny morning overlooking the sea, but being on the hillside overlooking the bay meant it was a bit of a trek down to the seafront. The dining experience provided beautiful views, but there were only glazed cakes available. Overall, it was a stay with highs and lows.
