Hotel idéalement bien situé au bord de mer sur une jolie promenade
Pros:

Très belle situation pour cet hôtel à caté de la mer et du centre ancien, l’hôtel met tout en œuvre pour votre stationnement; la décoration de cet hôtel tout rénové est superbe

Cons:

La chambre était très petite, et malgré une salle du petit déjeuner magnifique, ce dernier n'était pas top

Lovely location and quality stay.
Pros:

Great location and sea view room with balcony was fab.
Very comfortable bed.

Cons:

Shoved in a dark corner for breakfast as the tables with natural light had been set for dinner.
This is 9am - surely you can reset a couple of knives and forks or wait until breakfast is complete before you set for the next meal.







No water in the room. A couple of bottles would be expected for the price tag.

A bit disappointing and overpriced.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Disappointingly small room, dirty windows with seagull poo, breakfast room in dingy basement presided over by a rather disagreeable gentleman who also appeared later in the bar - other staff were fine.

Comfy hotel in a great location and delicious breakfast, but a quiet night's sleep not guaranteed.
Pros:

Location, views, new carpets and beautiful decor. I loved my room (ample for a night's stay) and the ensuite bath/shower. The breakfast was also superb!

Cons:

Parking wasn't guaranteed so I booked parking 0.5 miles away via an app. I requested a quiet room and when I asked reception on checking in about noise, I was told it was not guaranteed and I'd just have to manage. Unfortunately, I was opposite a very loud couple who arrived and left their room through the night, talking and laughing loudly. There were also several loud motorbikes. All could be heard despite ear plugs but reception didn't help.
