The room had a big, comfortable bed i slept soundly in. the shower was spacious with multiple settings for water pressure. the staff were genuinely friendly. They provided a late check-out upon request. the hotel's cleanliness impressed me greatly.

the parking fee cost £10 per night a charge i found unexpectedly high.

fantastic stay

i enjoyed the very clean and modern decor. the owners were fantastic and really helpful. i liked that the bathroom was the best i've ever had (it felt spacious!). the staff was also helpful and friendly.

i wasn't told anything about breakfast at check-in. the selection was not great, especially for kids (i think yoghurts or croissants would be a nice addition). there were not enough tea and coffee supplies in the room either.

Service

the male receptionist was very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. the housekeeper gave us a tour of the room upon arrival and explained everything. overall, the staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Dining

8/10

the bar area provided plenty of drink options, even though i didn't use it much. the breakfast area was clean, however the breakfast choices themselves were limited. i think adding more variety could improve this.

Location

the hotel is close to the sea front and shops. the surrounding area was quiet, which i appreciated (especially at night!). a short walk gets you to the tower, beach front, and coral island.

The hotel is close to several attractions. The promenade is a short walk away. Coral Island, along with other local spots, are easily accessible. This makes it convenient for sightseeing.

the room was really modern. i found it immaculate and clean. the bed was very comfortable.

the wifi wasn't good at all. the shower leaked a lot, even with towels trying to stop the water. the walls are very thin too, i could hear the rooms next door very easily.
