Zoltan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is clean but a little tired. The lift had broken down on the day I arrived which meant climbing about 70 stairs up to my room on the 3rd floor. Bed very comfortable and en suite rather small but everything needed was there. Staff helpful and friendly. Very nice breakfast. Limited parking.

6/10 Okay

The room and facilities are old looking and small. Especially for the bathroom. But the beds are clean and tidy and provide car parking.
CHOI LAN, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The corridors carpets and decor ready for a face lift but realise what a cost that would be. Glad we upgraded to a sea view, watching the world go by was entertaining. We ate one evening in the restaurant, no problems.
Yvonne, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Oh dear. In its day this place would have been magnificent. Great location etc. Those days are long gone. It needs massive investment as it is so dated. The staff do their best but can only work with what they've got. We had two nights here and would not recommend it at all. It served its purpose. We got a bed, fed in the morning and a basic bathroom. No frills stay.
