Fabulous location and once you get past the dated decor, this hotel has a lot going for it. Yes it’s not perfect but it has a certain charm and I’ll always book to stay here. Gorgeous beach views in certain rooms and the staff we came across were very friendly. You get what you pay for but we love it. Can’t be beaten on ease of access to the beach and sea front.

Despite the reputation of this hotel I could not fault it. Everything was clean, my room huge, staff helpful, breakfast generous. The building and views from it are magnificent. Anyone concerned about it housing hoards of illegal immigrants ?? There are none there.
