Work Stay
Pros:

Location of the hotel and the staff were very attentive. Room was comfortable. Breakfast options were plentiful.

Cons:

The decor of the hotel is inconsistent with some rooms more modern and other rooms more dated. The mattress was hard which wasn't a problem myself, but could be to others. The room that I stayed in, the walls were thin and could hear the tenants next door. Also, there were some holes in the side tables where my keys fell down and had to get the staff to retrieve them - suggest they get filled.

Pretty dreadful...
Pros:

- Good location
- The lady serving breakfast was pleasant but rushed off her feet as she was the only one on duty

Cons:

- Awful room under the stairs on the ground floor (marked private, no room number despite being given a key with a number)
- Two separate beds put together (the gap in between could be felt quite badly when trying to sleep)
- The room was in serious need of a refurb (see photos)
- Most definitely not 4 star hotel standard (didn't even feel like 3 star)
- Very pricey for what it was
- The shower was small and was in what looked like a cupboard
- The toilet was a little dirty
- Noisy people upstairs (very thin ceilings/no insulation)
- The room was very cold
- Heavily stained carpets
- The breakfast was pretty bad (the sausage is advertised as a "premium" sausage but I cannot imagine there was much meat in it, it was grey and pretty disgusting)
- I'm not sure when the photos were taken but I was really looking forward to this stay and the hotel looks nothing like the photos

Perfect escape.
Pros:

Very stylish little boutique hotel with a fabulous breakfast. Lovely helpful staff. I'm so happy I found this place and chose to stay here. Would visit again and stay longer for next time. It is a short walk from the seaside and Aquarium. We walked to the cinema in the evening and had dinner at a nearby restaurant, too many to choose from.
Room had tea/coffee and kettle. Netflix. I could live there.

Cons:

There was nothing to complain about. Everything was great.
