Fantastic little hotel. Fresh, clean and cosy interior. I was the only one staying in the hotel but the staff couldn't have been anymore friendly. Out of the 30+ hotels I've stayed at this year, this is by far the best nights sleep I've had out of them all.

Staff were friendly and helpful.
Room and bathroom very cramped - couldn’t fully open bathroom door
Enjoyed meals though breakfast service was chaotic
Liked location
Parking difficult
A bit of a work in progress - potential wasted e g pool
surrounds - needs to be sharper- should not have to squeeze by bins to get to the back car park under the rusty fire escape.

The staff here was outstanding especially the ladies on reception and the waitress at breakfast- awesome!!! The area is great loved the lift to the beach and the walk down to the Chine. Had a lovely two day’s sightseeing. My room was somewhat rundown but very clean. The TV has issues but not a deal breaker. Breakfast was great .Did not use pool or sauna. For the price good value.

Room facilities were poor. 1) Shower room inadequate; Showerhead not secured adequately, wash basin far too small, toilet seat not properly secured and not properly size matched to toilet pan.
2) TV; unnessessarily large for a small room and controls take a scientist to figure them. 3) Too many plug extensions and adapters.

We had an amazing stay! We were given the choice of which room we wanted on arrival which was an extra bonus. The pool and sauna is a really nice touch too. We didn't order breakfasts but the staff were happy to accommodate teas and coffees in the morning for us. During our stay, one of us became unexpectedly unwell, meaning we needed to request additional cleaning to the room - the staff were very understanding and didn't make a fuss of this. All in all an amazing stay and we will be back again next year!

It was not the best , you can say it is just a place to spend a night in it just for sleep . Facilities were poor, Tv was not working all the time, the room we had was actually poor for the price . the only good thing was that location is near the center and the cliff lift
