Great location and lovely stay!
Pros:

Great location and I’ve stayed here before it’s very comfortable! Really great staff and everyone was kind to me and my baby girl and they were very helpful with providing a cot and baby high chair and really nice breakfast - there was a short walk to the beach and we really enjoyed it!

Cons:

There was a mix up about the extra day so we had to move rooms the second day but it was sorted out quickly and wasn’t a big drama.

Just right for our needs as we both struggle with mobility.
Pros:

Room was clean, spacious and bright. The breakfast was excellent and staff friendly and helpful.
The bathroom was a bit small and lacked towel rails and a shelf above basin.

Cons:

Located on quite a busy road, though convenient to get to any direction.
Could have done with some info on using shower heater.

Hübsches Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

Äußerst zuvorkommendes Personal! Die Damen waren allesamt sehr bemüht, unsere Erwartungen zu erfüllen. Ob Victoria, Carolyn, Lyra - alle top! Wir haben statt eines Zimmers mit 2 Einzelbetten ein großes Familienzimmer bekommen, das sehr komfortabel für zwei war. Gute Betten, wenn auch die Einzelbetten recht schmal sind. Generell ist das Hotel hübsch hergerichtet, im maritimen Stil mit netten Eyecatchern.
Die Lage ist perfekt - 5 Minuten zur Marina, 5 Minuten ins Zentrum.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer könnte eine gründlichere Reinigung vertragen. Staubsaugen bitte auch in den Ecken des Zimmers - es ist immerhin Teppichboden. Und typisch englisch halt - die Türen und Fenster sind schalldurchlässig und es zieht auch einigermaßen durch.
Bei der Frühstücksauswahl wäre Käse mal eine nette Abwechslung. Die Marmeladen sind leider paketierte Billigware aus dem Großhandel.

It was lovely ! Would always return, was just a little disappointed with the room
Pros:

I like the location the staff were fab the hotel was spotlessly clean .

Cons:

We stayed in room 10 sadly as id asked for the room we stayed in b4! room 11.

The room was adequate but very small , needed an additional mirror as the only one in bedroom was ornate heart one. Maybe a Full length on the back of door or bathroom or somewhere. We found the shower quite small and I kept banging my head.on the shower caddy ! When washing my hair . Bathroom was very bland ! No pictures like room 11 just needs a bit of colour.
