The hotel was in a very convenient spot for our stay. The room facilities were very basic and would only be comfortable for a short stay. The bathroom wasn’t very clean and the hallway is very noisy. The cafe down stairs was convenient for a good coffee on our way out

We thought we would pay extra for an executive suite, it was dirty, small and extremely poor quality. Would not stay here again. Bathroom was filthy, old and spa unusable. If this was their executive suite I would hate to see a basic room.

I had booked a stay at your hotel in advance for a week without understanding before I approached the property that I had formerly been banned from the listing of the hotel chain. Nobody informed me about this in advance of me making the booking itself, and furthermore, I was told that I had to apply for a refund through the website where I made the booking instead of at the desk itself, delaying my return of the money owed me. Please could you assist me ASAP with this disservice.

Not best, not worst.

We paid over 340 for this room which definitely was not worth that amount compared to others in the area or city. It’s not the worst place I have been but for that price it was pretty poor! The room carpet was fraying, tiles missing from the floor in bathroom and around spa bath. Dodgy paint job to patch a hole in the roof, cracked basin and bed dipped in middle…..just not greatly maintained room. On the way out we noticed the carpet in the corner being eaten by some kind of bug.

Love the location, many great spots to eat in walking distance and the proximity to the beach. Spacious room, with a big tub. The overall condition is definitely feeling tired and the room felt different to what the pictures conveyed honestly; but the staff were helpful and we enjoyed our stay. Would like a few more TV options, it was just the free to air channels and no ability to even sign into your own Netflix, I wish I knew because we had planned to enjoy some quiet nights in and that was disappointing.
