Not a lot

Cons:

Not a place to relax and sleep,to much noise at night someone was emptying the bottles outside,someone was banging on our door at 2 15 in the early morning.Plus people were coming and going at all hours.Its not very good for 80 year old people.The manager promised us a full refund .

Noisy, run down and uncomfortable
Pros:

Awful hotel, please avoid. It's really run down and noisy. I stayed here for work during the hot weather. I was given a room that had no ventilation. Bedroom window opened a bit but the bathroom window was broken and couldn't be opened. No fan in the room. I asked if I coukd move rooms. The only other option was a 4 bed dorm room. It had a patio door but was down a dark corridor and the light didn't work in the room, it was also surrounded by noisy teenagers. I was told they would provide a fan I could use if I went back to the original room. Howerever, when I went to get it just before going to bed they insisted in wanting a £20 cash deposit! Something to do with them having to hire the fans and had an incident of somebody stealing one! Awful service, when they are a seaside hotel and busiest season is the warmer months, guests expect to have a reasonable level of comfort with a fan in the room - especially when the hotel is so run down and you can't even open the windows properly!
I would advise anyone against staying here - especially if you don't want to be woken up at 3am with drunk people shouting just outside your room.

Pros:

Initially I disliked my room as it had only a bath with no shower attachment and I needed to be able to wash my long hair.
The hotel doesn't offer a shower hose attachment for the taps as the bath wasn't even mixer tap - the lovely lady on reception switched my room for me.
Be mindful of the type of room you book depending on your needs!

Pros:

I booked last minute . So was lucky to find somewhere. The only thing was it was so hot in the room. But the weather was exceptionally hot as well.
So maybe a fan if optional .

Good location and nice room
Pros:

Clean and comfy room, walking distance to Tolcarne beach for swimming/ surfing (best for long boarders/beginners) and next to a viewpoint, lovely staff! Tesco is also a few minutes away and open until 11 which is ideal

Cons:

The only downside for me was that I went during a heatwave and there was no aircon
