Great location, no complaints
Pros:

As some reviews say, the hotel is showing its age but we had a big, comfortable room with a great sea view, and staff were really helpful, so no complaints.

Great location, good staff, clean, good size, showing its age.
Pros:

Great location, large spaces, small bar.

Cons:

Breakfast was OK, not great. Good service staff, but the facilities in general can use some refreshing. Decor feels a bit out of date.

Great location, great food and excellent staff.
Pros:

Single room was good, nice view and had everything you need for a short stay. Breakfast was excellent both days as was the one evening meal we had. Good service from the Staff handling our Party of 19. The Hotel is in a lovely location with stunning views out front. (Make sure you book a room with a sea view)

Cons:

One small item.... the bath/shower was a little slippy, perhaps a rubber bath mat could be supplied to help this.

Cons:

Hotellet har en osystematisk och märklig numrering av rummen. Svårt att direkt hitta sitt rum.
Förhållandet blir extra besvärligt eftersom hotellets hiss, p g a placering och kapacitet, inte på ett naturligt sätt kan serva gästerna. Det blir extra besvärlig för de med tungt bagage.

Perfect location
Pros:

Lovely hotel in a great location. The room was lovely and overlooked the sea..The breakfast was impressive, one of the best I've had.

Cons:

If I had to complain about something it was disappointing that I couldn't get a coffee after dinner.
Also a shower in the bath, while perfectly serviceable, is not as nice as a shower stall

Enjoyed the time there and proximity to harbour, with fresh fish from the quay.
Pros:

Good location on the seafront for town and harbour. Room and bed comfortable

Cons:

In the room, there was no fridge to keep things cool. Furnishing a bit dated.
