After reading the reviews I was a little surprised, the hotel has a dated feel about it and although the breakfast was free, a new thermos of coffee arrived and it was cold. Certainly would not pay that amount again, Nearby parking that was recommended as secure wa £22.50 for less than 24 hours!

Liked: Staff & service
The room was presented well, perfect for an overnight stay. Tv, mirror, comfortable bed and breakfast included - didn't have as woke up too late. However I disliked the bathroom - the hot water tap was extremely hot and kept dripping even when turned off. The shower I hated, small and narrow - the doors came off when trying to come out the shower. Only a overhead shower from the ceiling, no handheld shower so water was peristently crashing down onto my head, felt like I was drowning - awful!

The room was clean but very dated, staff were friendly, breakfast was not very warm as we stayed there 6 night's it would have been nice to have had at least 1or 2 hot ones. The car park was none existent as you were not allowed to park unless you were disabled so it cost us for 6 days in the BIC car park which came to £135.00 .

Staff very helpful. Breakfast good. Room a little dated. Not enough clothes hangers and shower, while it had good pressure, was quite cramped. Traffic noise quite bad until late, even though it was 'out of season'. Good location.

Nice but a bit overpriced

Room was clean but a little shabby, very few amenities in the room especially for the price we paid and the lift was more than a little temperamental. Staff were absolutely lovely though! We were at the back of the hotel and got an awful lot of noise from a nearby bar on 3 of the 5 nights we stayed. The cooked breakfast was excellent but the continental options were very limited- mini croissants, cereal, plain yoghurt- no fruit or anything like that. Also finshed serving quite early on weekdays- no lie-ins for us!!

Loved this place. Opposite BIC so not far to go home! Hotel great communication after I altered room set up. It was exactly as I'd asked. They were so friendly, particularly on reception. Lovely large clean windows with pier/sea view. Will definitely stay again when attending BIC. Only quibble, very little choice at breakfast. Not a lot of healthy food, no fruit and coffee was odd. Cooked food was good.

Short Break at Very Central Hot

A very comfortable small room but adequate. Very nice breakfast and staff are truly amazing. Excellent location and neighbouring eateries. Major drawback is parking adjacent car park poorly maintained and not secure but very cheap £7 for 24 hours. BiC £22.50 for same period.
