Fabulous !
Pros:

The situation is fabulous and room lovely, bed comfortable and so lovely with the balcony

Cons:

Never had any teabags available at breakfast also the hot water flasks are hard to get the water out and are not great - silly system and makes the whole breakfast stressful as all you want is a decent cup of tea without having to keep asking for teabags

Amazingly luxurious but maybe not have dinner in the restaurant next time.
Pros:

Our room and the views from it were amazing. The hotel was lovely and very high standards , our room and facilities were very luxurious . The taxi to drop us and fetch us from the wedding venue was a great perk.

Cons:

We had a lovely meal in the restaurant on our first night but it was very very expensive.

Exceeded expectations
Pros:

The rooms was spacious, the bathroom was amazing with two shower heads and I really enjoyed the bathroom lighting, as the side lights made the evening wind down more enjoyable. The view from our room up the beach was spectacular.

The restaurant had a great view and lovely menu.

Cons:

It would have neen better if the bar area was larger/better link to the relaxation room, so that a drink in the evening had more of a vibe than reading room. This made it feel lile it was aimed to an older cliente, but nothing else felt like that.

Pros:

Amazing location, nice helpful staff, nice aesthetic.

Cons:

Moved rooms to one without a view and charged the same amount, terrible smell in the room (faulty aircon I think) that I reported twice and wasn't handled. Family room was set up for two people (e.g. only two lots of beach towels etc). Family room also backed onto a noisy bar. Breakfast was Ok, but not amazing. All in would be acceptable at a lower price, but too many small things missed/not done well for £400 per night. Really wanted this to be my go to mini-break place, but don't think I will be back.

Loved The Albion would come back in a heartbeat.
Pros:

The location, design, quality of rooms and spaces within the hotel were fantastic. So was the restaurant. Fabulous food.

Cons:

The only let-down was breakfast, it must have been a different catering team to lunch and dinner. Poor quality of food and awful coffee.

Lovely hotel and room. Breakfast disappointing.
Pros:

The location was amazing. The room was large.

Cons:

The breakfast was not run efficiently. Everyday there was something not there - no clean cups, run out of hot water to make a cup of tea. No teapots, no bananas, no fruit juice.

The choice for gluten free was also quite limited.

Pros:

outside view

Cons:

5 rooms with the same view, 2 with bathtub and 3 without. I booked this hotel for the bathtub, but it was not assigned upon check-in, and I was not informed in advance. Hard to find a clear description during booking.

Very average. Poor value for money.
Pros:

Right on the beach

Cons:

Service like the uk 50 years ago, a bit sloppy. Breakfast very poor (everything overcooked, poor selection, and when we turned up there were no cups, spoons, juice, etc). One toilet role, which ran out. Room was good however. The Rock restaurant good in the evening.
