Great location. Exactly where you want to be when visiting for a short trip. The room was great. The onsite parking was also great but be aware that you drive through a pedestrian zone to get there, we panicked a bit.

Good hotel, staff quite blunt but helpful. Breakfast is expensive compared to what is on offer especially for vegetarians. Great location to the city centre but rooms need updating- it feels as though you're going back 20 to 30 years in time!

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
The location of the hotel was excellent. The beach area and swimming pool were great. The room was clean but a bit dated. There was a lot of noise on the Saturday night coming from people in the streets outside which made it difficult to sleep. It was quieter on the other nights. The handle on the room door was broken and kept falling off, this made it very difficult to close the door. We mentioned this to the staff on reception a couple of times, hoping it would be sorted but they didn’t do anything.
