Check in great and efficient. Room for first bight great except for big threatening german shepherd dog on adjacent balcony. Asked for room change due to fear of dog, unable to accommodate and fairly off hand dity manager came across as dismissive of my fears and concerns. Room changed progressed following afternoon. Reat of stay fine. Building under renovation and therefore noisy (cannot be helped), bathroom cleaning needs improvement. Great location, views and most staff delightful

Staff were very good. Put full effort in… but impossible to overcome the construction ongoing across the entire hotel. Shame we were not advised until check-in. When done it will be nice - and our room was spacious & well appointed - but the noise starts at 7am and resonates to all rooms.

Lots of construction in and around hotel. Woken at 7am every morning (including weekend) by loud power tools being used on floor above. Dusty and smelly, just like a building site, which it actually was. Should be decent when work is complete, that didnt help me though.

The hotel is very central, close to public transport, nice promenade, relaxing area ideal for walks. Staff are ok and helpful. At the back where my room was, but, they are building something and it's quite noisy from early morning. I suggest to others to take a front room.

Luxury

A superb hotel and room. The balcony overlooked the sea and we were given a free bottle of wine which we sat and drank there. The breakfast included is extremely plentiful and delicious. The negative is the building work. It started very early between 6:45am and 8:30am each day. We complained only to be told that they did not start until 9am and we must have heard another firms’ building work! But it is clear that they are building on top of the curved block of rooms and a cement mixer was there each morning and a crane everyday.
