When entering the hotel it looked great all decorated for Christmas but when we got to our room we couldn't of been more disappointed, the dust in the room was unbelievable, marks all over the furniture, the radiators were thick with muck the lights were so dusty in cobwebs , dirty single glazed windows, we didn't even bother using the bathroom apart from the loo, told the kids to keep their shoes on, they did offer us another room but it wasn't much better, slept badly because of this as felt uncomfortable, I will not be going back unfortunately as it's great location to the beach, the staff were friendly also just cleanliness

We booked two nights there with breakfast included, and paid . According to the sheet the hotel gave us, breakfast was served from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM. However, on the second day, when we went for breakfast at 9:30 AM, they told us breakfast ended at 9 and didn’t even allow us to take a coffee, even though there was no note on the sheet indicating that breakfast would be served only until 9 when the hotel is quiet, so that we would know. Since I had booked the hotel, I was very embarrassed in front of my partner, unfortunately.Also, they didn’t come to clean our room; they only gave us towels, and we had to make the bed ourselves. The coffee maker didn’t work either.But the room was spacious and nice, and had a good view, and also the water pressure and the bathtub were excellent.and the staff were polite. Any way thank you .

Although the room on the 5th floor was spacious, we felt like we were in an attic! Good view from the window but we couldn't see it much due to the single bed placed under the window. The bed wasn't that comfy although spacious but the sheets weren't long enough and kept sliding down from the pillows. The hotel is splendid downstairs and was very festive but the bedrooms need updating as do the en suites. We found the man who gave us our room robe pleasant but apart from a cleaner, we had no conversation with anyone. On leaving the hotel we handed in the key and there was a quick thank you. I wouldn't return as i found it expensive for the room. They desperately need to update upstairs. staff

A beautiful hotel situated in an excellent location but in need of lots of tender loving care. We booked a double room and ended up with a family room on the back. Having stopped before this was a disappointment. The light in the bathroom was intermittent the toilet seat wouldn’t stop up and the tap was stiff and hard to get water. The room needed a deep clean. Apparently it is a dog friendly hotel and our room definitely smelt of animal on asking due to allergies the only rooms that our dog free are the suites and luxury rooms. I don’t object to animals at all but if you have an allergy you need the assurance. This time we booked room only so we cannot comment on food or other facilities. The staff on the whole were very friendly with the exception of one member of reception despite being very efficient she had no people skills which could be perceived as being rude. As stated earlier the building itself is beautiful with its sweeping staircase and in its time must have been the ultimate place to stay. Such a shame this hotel could have a lot of potential.
