Would not recommend, massive rip off!
Pros:

Location was ok

Cons:

Paid £239.00 for 1 night when I booked it in November 2025. Numerous other guests said they paid less than 1/2 that. When I went for breakfast was told the £239 did not include breakfast, I complained to reception staff and was told it is policy to ‘Hike’ the prices when there is a concert on. Room was very dated, our room had a big slope across the floor.

Terrible
Pros:

Absolutely terrible experience. We were assigned a tiny room that felt cramped, uncomfortable, and poorly maintained. To make matters worse, there was no view at all. The room had a persistent burnt smell, and throughout our stay we had to endure an awful, constant noise that made it nearly impossible to sleep or relax.

The overall experience was extremely disappointing, and it genuinely felt as though we had been given one of the worst rooms available. We expected much better. Unfortunately, we will not be returning and would not recommend this stay to others.

Overall good hotel. Would return
Pros:

Good location. Clean facilities. Excellent breakfast. Given sea view even though hadn’t requested. Spacious room

Cons:

Small bathroom/shower. Could have done with another pillow (although I’m sure if we had asked the hotel would have provided). TV not situated opposite bed - awkward to watch in bed
