Cleanliness
6.5
Multiple reviewers reported pet smell in corridors, stained shower fittings, dirty bathroom curtain, slow-draining sink and drain smells, and a cigarette smell in the lift — lowers overall cleanliness impression.
Service
9
Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and amazing on several stays; isolated report of an unfriendly checkout interaction but overall service is a strong positive.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised: excellent location close to beach/centre, great bay views and convenient for attractions — a clear strong point across reviews.
Room Quality
9
Many guests mention large, comfortable rooms, good views and well-equipped rooms (fridge, hairdryer, iron). Some rooms were reported as excessively hot and a few maintenance issues (sash window, bathroom button) but overall very positive.
Amenities
9
Good on-site amenities noted (bar area, parking, stocked mini-fridge, toiletries, iron/ironing board). Minor negatives: poor fan provided and limited local walk/ride info.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed signals: described by one as a budget option but others note high restaurant prices and extra charges (small dog fee); generally acceptable value but not outstanding.
Food and Beverage
8
Food receives praise in places (‘‘really good’’) but breakfast cooked options are limited/poorly executed for some guests, and restaurant menu choices/pricing drew criticism.
Overall Experience
9.5
Majority of stays described as enjoyable, many guests plan to return or were on repeat stays; strong overall satisfaction despite a few issues.

Will be returning. Great location, very clean and good facilities.
Pros:

Lovely old building which is so hard to look and keep clean, but they’ve really done well. Reception booking in was simple. Although we didn’t take the dog, will return in autumn for beach walks and knowing we can wash and dry the dog off at the hotel is a bonus.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Room was absolutely huge with large double bed and seating area.
Mini fridge was nicely stocked but didnt use it
Incredibly clean throughout
Friendly staff
Amazingly comfortable bed
Stunning views across the bay

Cons:

Decor in parts was a bit odd (penguin blinds?)
Shower was powerful but either cold or scalding hot
No complimentary biscuits with the coffee supplies, which I would expect in an executive room

Perfect for sea views
Pros:

Perfect location overlooking South Bay in a historic building. Plentiful buffet breakfast and very quirky public spaces. Room was comfortable and shower was hot and powerful. Bonus was free parking permit for surrounding areas. Expected to have to pay for parking, but provided with permit for duration of my stay.

Cons:

Would have liked to stay for longer.
