Good Points: Great view from the room the layout was superb
Bad Points: The spa bath was old and dirty, when it was switched on lots of bits came out of the jets into the water- the shower didn't work
Further Comments: W hen paying ￂﾣ320 for two nights you expect everything to be perfect and memorable. Unfortunately the cleanliness of the spa bath let the hotel down. Breakfast finished at 9:30 which is early.

Good Points: The door leading out to a massive veranda complete with table, loungers and chairs. Overlooking the sea/promenade it was a sun trap.
Bad Points: The towels were threadbare though clean and the net curtains on the veranda door were yellow and tatty.
Further Comments: 25/08/06 - 27/08/06 I was pleasantly surprised at the central location of the hotel. The victorian decor and chandaliers in the reception area and hallways gave the hotel a certain ambience. Some may say it looked tired but it was so much better than modern plastic hotels that have no character at all. Checking in/out was done in 1minute and throughout my short stay the staff could not have been more helpful, right down to borrowing an iron to press my shirt. If you miss the evening meal then there is a Chinese and an Indian restaurant 2 minutes walk plus an Irish bar down one of the side streets. I would certainly use this hotel again.

Good Points: That we only had to endure two nights ;-)
Bad Points: 150 per night very poor value. towels for children were very small, old and tatty Bathroom, very poorly maintained, shower a joke.
Further Comments: 150 per night very poor value. towels for children were very small, old and tatty Bathroom, very poorly maintained, shower a joke. Overall, fitures and fittings dated from the 1980's and were maintained by an enthusatic owner(?) The main window had been replaced with a modern PVC frame - had 2 4inch screws in the bottom at an angle holding it in place. Given its great location its a real waste of potential.....

Good Points: Faded elegance
Bad Points: For those who need an early start Breakfast start time could have been a bit earlier but I still got cornflakes and toast which was fine.
Further Comments: Much more character than you get in some of corporate chains; the 1970s wallpaper actually did add to the charm. Very good value for money
