I’d probably give it a swerve

The experience at this hotel wasn’t great. The staff were friendly but our room didn’t have any toiletries or iron/ironing board in it despite pamphlets to the contrary. I phoned down to reception and the toiletries were provided, the hot water in the shower didn’t seem to work, another call to reception and we were told to keep the hot tap in the sink and the shower running at the same time for 10 minutes before it gets hot, which worked but it such an awful waste of water during this drought of a summer. By the time I noticed the iron was missing I lacked the motivation to make another call to reception. The sheets had some rather nasty looking stains on them, as did the sofa in receptions. There was loud music coming from somewhere in the hotel until about 3.30am which made for a terrible nights sleep, not to mention the noisy pigeon population that had made the dingy courtyard our frosted windows looked out upon, another source of unwanted sound. Floorboards above very creaky and thin walls meant it was very easy to hear doors slamming shut in the morning.

Great staff make up for a lacklustre stay

The hotel appears to have a long standing issue with the hot water, so much so that there was a notice on the toilet cistern saying so. Both the shower and hot watertap must be run at the same time. If we knew we wouldn't have booked. The walls are thin, we could hear other residents in the wee small hours, and there was a persistent and intermittent scratching through the night which I suspect was a rodent. The last time I looked at the clock it was 3am. I have never had to write a review like this before, however it's fair to say you get what you pay for.

Issue with hot water. Sometimes had to wait a long time before water heated up. Once when showering, the water went cold in the middle of the shower. Also sink wasn't very broad; each time I washed my face, water dripped from my chin on to the floor which I then had to clean up

Polite staff. I only stayed for one night. The rooms are a little dated but clean. Close to seafront and Cliffs Pavilion. Reasonably priced for my short stay.

Our room looked literally NOTHING like the charming photo - we had a single and a double bed in a quite old fashioned room. No air con. Heat blasting in the windows. Which opened, so that's good! Still nice though. Very old fashioned and charming. Oh god and the elevator is VERY small, so if you dislike small spaces... but the bar and bar staff rock! And front desk guy was lovely.

The hotel overal was okey, nice family room, good location for shopping, walkable to the sea site. The minus was the hot water which you have to wait like 10 mins and you have to constantly run water to get warm/hot, which in mine opinion its waste of the water and the boiler should be change at that stage. At the front of the reception we have slight struggle to get hold as was no one at the desk and no ring bell or anything to be able get attention. By the way we didn't hear when we check out from the receptionist words " I hope we see you again", instead we heard " okey, bye" which put us off more to the hotel.

This hotel was extremely disappointing. The room was dirty, poorly maintained, and felt very rundown. Pigeons could be heard cooing right outside the window early in the morning — no netting or barriers to prevent them. The shower only worked if I turned on both the sink and shower taps at the same time, which is unacceptable. No bath mat made the floor slippery and unsafe. Towels were limited and the in-room refreshments were poor — no milk and out-of-date biscuits. The one positive was the receptionist, Kieran. He was polite, professional, and helpful. I sincerely hope he moves on in hospitality, away from this establishment. I paid over £100 for one night and expected at least basic standards. Unfortunately, this place failed on almost every level. I won’t be returning.

They have been shouting and swearing since 10pm when they arrived back to their room. I have a 9 year old daughter and we both havnt slept since we went to bed at 9:30 pm. Absolute UNACCETPABLE
