Good Points: Close to the beach and main shopping centre. Rooms were clean and tidy.
Bad Points: It was very noisy, with car alarms, sirens, shouting etc, which didn't die down until 5am, as situated on a main road, so we didn't get much sleep!! The hotel was at the top of a steep hill.
Further Comments: The rooms were very old fashionly decorated. The was a severe lack of parking and because of that we didn't move the car for fear of losing our space and we were blocked in. On top of a steep hill, so not suitable for all. For the price of the room, I would have expected more.

Good Points: Good, comfortable accommodation.
Further Comments: Hotel in good location no more than 5 minutes walk from the BIC, handy for local restaurants and shops. Staff were very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble.

Good Points: Adequate for our needs. Breakfast was excellent.
Bad Points: Hotel far too hot and radiator in room was jammed and would not switch off. Cleaners did not look above head height in room - lots of cobwebs!
Further Comments: Would have been helpful to realise before booking that hotel was at the top of a very steep hill, a killer for my bad back, but was afraid to use car in case parking space was lost as this was very limited. A larger choice of evening meal, and a longer opening period in the restaurant would have been nice, there was only a choice of 3 dishes and it was only open for one and a half hours, although the food was very nice.

Good Points: Central, clean, good food. friendly staff, value for money.
Bad Points: nothing to dislike about the accomodation, but the area is quite steep for those that are not able to walk up hills easily.
Further Comments: Lovely Hotel, Clean and tastefully decorated, good food and helpful, friendly staff.Car parking available. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return visit. I will certainly reccommend this to my friends, but would be a bit hesitant for the disabled because of the steps to the reception area, and the hotel is situated up quite a steep hill from the town centre and the promanade.

Good Points: I liked very much both breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was quite complete and the dinner was delicious. I also think people from the hotel were lovely, very kind and made the accomodation more comfortable.
Bad Points: I didn't like that my sheets were not changed in any time. Television could hardly be seen inside the room because of the bad reception and there were just a few channels. The washbasin was out of the bathroom!!!
Further Comments: I generally think that it is a good hotel if you are just looking for a place were you are going to have breakfast, dinner and sleep but not to spend more time inside it or in your room.
