Pros:

Imeline asukoht kohe ranna vastas, hea hommikusöök, tore personal.

Cons:

Tuba oli väga palav (kuumalaine), ei olnud konditsioneeri ega ventilaatorit ning me ei saanud palavuse tõttu öösel magada. Aknaid sai avada ainult 10cm. Parkimisvõimalustega kitsas, aga hotelli taga paar tänavat edasi oli pikaajaline ranna parklas, kus sai öösel tasuta parkida, hommikuks otsime 3h juurde.

Pros:

It was opposite beach.

Cons:

Some of staff were unhelpful. When I arrived I was told the dining room was full for dinner. I wasn't given any recommendations of where to eat, so I had to look myself. The next morning when I went for breakfast I sat next to a lovely couple who said that the seat i was at had been unoccupied since they arrived, when I went to reception and asked about it they again said the dining room was full. So again I had to look for somewhere yo eat. I was a lonely traveller and was hoping to be able to have dinner in the hotel. But somehow when I returned to the hotel I was told they may be able to make room for me, I said I had already made a reservation at a restaurant. I was really upset and angry they could make sure I has a table for breakfast but not for dinner.i will not be staying there again. The only staff that were helpful were the bar, the receptionist on Tuesday evening and in the restaurant.

A beautiful historic hotel in a fantastic location, but the breakfast experience and service felt unequal depending on t
Pros:

The hotel is full of character and has a lovely old-world charm. Its seafront location is excellent, and the building itself is beautiful. The staff we encountered were friendly and worked incredibly hard.

Cons:

Breakfast felt like there was a two-tier service. Guests on the all-inclusive package were seated in the main restaurant with plenty of staff, while other guests were seated in the foyer, where one member of staff was trying to look after around ten tables. It didn’t feel like the same experience. I was also surprised that there was no complimentary bottled water in the room for making tea or coffee, with bottled water costing £2. A little more consistency in service for all guests would make a big difference.

Great stay
Pros:

Location is perfect! Very short walk to the beach and town and then you are in the harbour, would stay again for the location alone, hotel has an old style to it but I quite liked that. Very clean and you had the option for breakfast in the morning or the nice bar area in the evening if you fancy a drink. Will be staying again when we next visit.

Cons:

Our room was facing the beach which was excellent however the noise of the road did wake us up, seems the windows are single glazing and it was very warm in the room and you could only open the windows an inch.

Pros:

Booked a standard room as that was all that was available, but was given a large sea view room.
Pros:

First day was excellent but second day food had obviously been plated for a while. It wasn't too bad, and seemed due to a large coach party departing that morning.

Cons:

Can't really think of anything.
