Such a lovely welcome. Lady at reception was very friendly, accommodating, and gave us an upgrade for free, as I had booked the wrong room!

Most dissapointed

Unfortunately the stay was absolutely terrible. We spent a grueling day on the road travelling, fatigued to the limit and needed to desperately rest. However, unruly kids made an incredible noise from 11pm onwards to early morning hours. We tried calling reception 3 different times but kept getting put through to voicemail. I went outside at one point and hollered for some quiet to no avail though. After a night of very little sleep our complaints the next morning was received with nonchalance and a fleeting comment of how everyone complained. Which made sense in hindsight not answering any of our calls and letting it go to voicemail. We found the stay and the demeanor of the staff unprofessional and most dissapointing for a hotel with what's supposed to have a more luxury-end reputation. Unfortunately and ultimately a reward wasted for us.

Please invest in new bed sheets that fit!

Good central location and great view of seafront. Nice balcony, although enjoyment was marred by the smokers that surrounded us. Bed was terrible- uncomfortable and the sheet was far too small- it kept rucking up to expose the worn, bobbly mattress beneath. There was no mattress protector. Towel rail was broken. Rooms need maintenance and beds need some new sheets! Friendly and welcoming check in, parking is tight. Nice big TV and strong shower.

Spacious studio with good sized bathroom and partial sea view. Clean and thoughtfully furnished, and reception staff very friendly. Fast internet speed and huge Smart TV for entertainment. Location is great as easy walk into the city, shops, restaurants, and opposite the ocean. My studio is absolutely perfect for single or a couple but not for children. My only negative is lack of wardrobe and storage space. Just a very narrow cupboard with an ironing board and iron in it. Apart from this, I thoroughly enjoyed my 7 night stay and would return again.
