My stay at the hotel was lovely. The room, although at the back of the hotel without a view, was perfect for a one-night stay. The breakfast with poached eggs was delightful, and the large windows offered beautiful sea views and a glimpse of the castle. Having 'things to do' leaflets and hotel information in the room was a nice touch, and the cleanliness and decor were on point.

The staff, including the receptionist, bar staff, and housekeepers, were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast quality was excellent, but there was a slight hiccup with a request for a different option.

The hotel's location was superb, centrally located and quiet. It was convenient for the open-air theatre and close to the town center and seafront.

The breakfast was fantastic, offering a wide selection of cereals, fruits, pastries, and a scrumptious full English. Cooking to order was a definite plus.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were really clean and spacious, although a bit dated, it still fit the overall style of the hotel perfectly. The annoying extractor fan outside the bedroom window did put a damper on things, definitely won't be staying in that room again. The small balcony was a nice touch for the three of us.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and spacious, although a bit dated, but fit well with the style of the hotel. The extractor fan outside the bedroom window was quite annoying at 8 am every morning.

Service

9.0

The service here was top-notch! The staff were so accommodating, always smiling, and ensured everything was perfect. The great breakfast was a lovely touch and the waiter/waitress and receptionist were very friendly.

Location

10.0

The location couldn't have been better for us! Right by the seafront with an overlook of the park, it was ideal for a peaceful stay yet still close to all the action like bars, shops, and the tramway. I would definitely come back and recommend to friends.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was outstanding overall! The service, presentation, and food were amazing. However, there was a bit of a hiccup with the language barrier with one server, which affected our order, but the chef's friendliness made up for it.

The facilities were great here, keeping the room and bathroom warm and cozy. Everything was clean and tidy, perfect for a relaxing stay.
