Loverly area and best hotel for the waterfront, shops and sites.
Pros:

Excellent location on the waterfront. In good condition and comfortable. Breakfasts/evening meals were good.

Cons:

When booking in was given two card keys, neither of which worked when I got to room (third floor) so had to come back down. Friend I met up with there had same problem. Was not a great start.

God frokost. .Bra treningstilbud. Høflig personell. Stor god seng. Kaffi på rommet.

Cons:

Heis var i ustand. Litt slitt hotell. Savnet kanne med ekte engelsk te til frokosten. Flere steder å henge opp håndkle, Knotten for oppheng på døren var ødelagt.

Comfortable stay with a great view
Pros:

The room was spotless and the view from the third floor fantastic! The room had a good size and the bed very comfortable. The room had all I needed it for a comfortable stay. Also, the location was the best! opposite to the seafront, and the area on the ground floor was spacious with a nice view too. Breakfast was good too. The staff friendly.

Cons:

In general was really good maybe the pool area needs some improvement like more changing rooms and direct access from there to the pool. The pool was fine. Difficult to reach on the phone for food service at night.

Not impressed. Poor value for money.
Pros:

Very central.

Cons:

The room was dark (“windows” go out into the lobby). Our rooms were not available at the stated check in time, despite having been at the property a couple of hours early. Unfortunately not the standard or service one would expect for the price.They charge 6 quid extra for room service.

Was a lovely stay on the sea front.
Pros:

It was clean and up to date with fantastic facilities available.

Cons:

The car park smelt very strongly of urine and so did the lift between the hotel and car park. The breakfast was not the best considering the price we paid for it.

An overall success, mybwife was extremely happy . Happy wife ,happy life ,period .
Pros:

Breakfast was great,staff were great . We ,my wife and I were given special treatment as they were aware that we were here to celebrate our 10th wedding . We spent 2 fabulous days here and we were exceedingly happy.Hopefully we will be able to stay here again.

Cons:

If I had one criticism it would be ,that we ate at the restaurant there the 1st night ,and we found the a/c was too high ,my wife was a little too cold ,it therefore made the food go cold a bit sooner than I personally ,would have liked .
