Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal vom Check in bis zum Check out!
Die Lage an der Meerpromende
Bemerkenswertes Hotel Design.

Cons:

Das Zimmer (superior mit kingsize Bett) war doch sehr klein; das Badezimmer ist tatsächlich schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber es war sehr sauber!

Disappointed this time, as we had stayed before in the past and had the best memories.
Pros:

Historic building

Cons:

Very small room. Shower on the colder side. Warmer temperature not possible as locked in. Water from head system; ladies would have to wear a cap. Existing door opening to the terrace tacked in between the adjacent room and the wall. If paying extra for a room with terrace, that is not worthwhile. A small double bed.

Delightful stay at the Masonic!
Pros:

The location was ideal , central in town but also by the sea front with stunning views from the veranda. The room had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Clean, with a comfortable bed and quality bed linen. A lovely hotel to come to if you want a special weekend away. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel has two eatery places attached to the hotel which was ideal when you didn’t feel like going out. The KKitchen eatery offered good meals at reasonable prices. Staff were eager to please and friendly. I did not try the Irish pub there.

Cons:

I found the room dark as the walls were painted a dark colour.

Old world excellence
Pros:

The building was old world and a delight to be within. It was located immediately opposite the beach with the iconic black sand. Parking around the venue was easy.
