Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was ok bed solid as a rock same as pillows. Music / band was super loud until 2am. Had 3 hours sleep. Asked to move rooms and was ignored twice. Checked out and asked for a refund for the second night at least and ignored. No talk or mention of live and loud music on website. One of the worst places I have ever stayed

Nice enough for, essentially, a room above a pub. But overpriced. No 24-hour reception (nobody there at 11.30 am when we wanted to leave bags in advance of check in).

Room was nice and is close to the beach, was stood about 30 minutes in the lobby before anyone came to us I rang and I could hear the phone ringing no one was answering, when staff were about, so customer service could definitely be improved. it’s more of a pub rather than a hotel. If it was more professional and organised it could be lovely.

Overall nice hotel, above a bar which can be a bit noisy if you want an early night. Only real complaint is there was a lot of loud door slamming in the morning on one day.

Great location, great staff!

Loved staying at the Castle Hotel. The staff were super friendly, checkin was quick, and for being above a bar- it wasn’t too loud. It is super close to the beach and the castle ruins and a brief 5 minute walk to all kinds of cute restaurants and shops. The only thing of note was the toilet took a bit to flush and the shower water was more tepid than hot but overall, I can’t say enough good things.

This is less a hotel, and more bed and breakfast. I was disappointment by not being able to drop a bag before check-in and the limited breakfast options. But the room was very comfortable, warm, and clean. The standby light from the TV was bright, but this is my only complaint with the actual room.
